The rest of Gervase's life is obscure.
He was still writing in 1199 and there are slight indications in another chronicle, the Gesta Regum, that he continued to write till 1210, when a sudden change in style and arrangement point to a new chronicler.
His death may therefore be assumed in or soon after that year.
Gervase has occasionally been confused with others of the same name, notably with Gervase of S. Ceneri, and thus he is described as prior of Dover by Dom Brial ( Recueil des Historiens de France, XVII, 1818 ), which is impossible on chronological grounds.
Thomas Duffus Hardy identified him with Gervase of Chichester, but William Stubbs argued against this theory, as also against confusing him with Gervase of Melkeley.
