THE  CHRONICLES  AND  MEMORIALS 

OF 

GREAT    BRITAIN    AND    IRELAND 

DURING  THE  MIDDLE  AGES. 

PUBLISHED  BY  THE  AUTHORITY  OF  HER  MAJESTY'S  TREASURY,  UNDER  THE 
DIRECTION  OF  THE  MASTER  OF  THE  ROLLS. 


On  the  26th  of  January  1857,  the  Master  of  the  Rolls 
submitted  to  the  Treasury  a  proposal  for  the  publication 
of  materials  for  the  History  of  this  Country  from  the 
Invasion  of  the  Romans  to  the  Reign  of  Henry  VIII. 

The  Master  of  the  Rolls  suggested  that  these  materials 
should  be  selected  for  publication  under  competent  editors 
without  reference  to  periodical  or  chronological  arrange- 
ment, without  mutilation  or  abridgment,  preference  being 
given,  in  the  first  instance,  to  such  materials  as  were  most 
scarce  and  valuable. 

He  proposed  that  each  chronicle  or  historical  document 
to  be  edited  should  be  treated  in  the  same  way  as  if  the 
editor  were  engaged  on  an  Editio  Princeps ;  and  for  this 
purpose  the  most  correct  text  should  be  formed  from  an 
accurate  collation  of  the  best  MSS. 

To  render  the  work  more  generally  useful,  the  Master 
of  the  Rolls  suggested  that  the  editor  should  give  an 
account  of  the  MSS.  employed  by  him,  of  their  age  and 
their  peculiarities  ;  that  he  should  add  to  the  work  a  brief 
account  of  the  life  and  times  of  the  author,  and  any 
remarks  necessary  to  explain  the  chronology ;  but  no  other 
note  or  comment  was  to  be  allowed,  except  what  might  be 
necessary  to  establish  the  correctness  of  the  text. 


The  works  to  be  published  in  octavo,  separately,  as 
they  were  finished ;  the  whole  responsibility  of  the  task 
resting  upon  the  editors,  who  were  to  be  chosen  by  the 
Master  of  the  Rolls  with  the  sanction  of  the  Treasury. 

The  Lords  of  Her  Majesty's  Treasury,  after  a  careful 
consideration  of  the  subject,  expressed  their  opinion  in  a 
Treasury  Minute,  dated  February  9,  1857,  that  the  plan 
recommended  by  the  Master  of  the  Rolls  "was  well 
calculated  for  the  accomplishment  of  this  important 
national  object,  in  an  effectual  and  satisfactory  manner, 
within  a  reasonable  time,  and  provided  proper  attention  be 
paid  to  economy,  in  making  the  detailed  arrangements, 
without  unnecessary  expense." 

They  expressed  their  approbation  of  the  proposal  that 
each  chronicle  and  historical  document  should  be  edited 
in  such  a  manner  as  to  represent  with  all  possible  correct- 
ness the  text  of  each  writer,  derived  from  a  collation  of  the 
best  MSS.,  and  that  no  notes  should  be  added,  except 
such  as  were  illustrative  of  the  various  readings.  They 
suggested,  however,  that  the  preface  to  each  work  should 
contain,  in  addition  to  the  particulars  proposed  by  the 
Master  of  the  Rolls,  a  biographical  account  of  the  author, 
so  far  as  authentic  materials  existed  for  that  purpose,  and 
an  estimate  of  his  historical  credibility  and  value.

PREFACE 


It  is  deeply  to  be  regretted  that  an  historic  monu- 
ment so  important,  and  of  such  great  interest  to  all 
students  of  our  early  times,  not  only  in  Britain,  but 
throughout  all  Germanic  lands,  as  the  Anglo-Saxon 
Cheonicle,  should  afford  us  no  information  with  regard 
to  its  several  writers,1  or  to  the  mode  in  which  it  gra- 
dually grew  into  the  form  in  which  we  now  possess  it. 
Equally  devoid  are  we  of  all  indirect  or  collateral  evi- 
dence, tending  to  cast  a  glimmering  of  light  on  these 
points.  Conjecture,  therefore,  and  that  founded  only 
on  probability,  is  all  we  can  have  recourse  to,  in  an 
attempt  to  account  for  the  phenomenon.  One  point, 
however,  seems  indisputable,  viz.,  that  the  several  manu- 
scripts, whether  West  Saxon  or  Mercian,  are  derived 
from  a  common  original ;  whence  the  question  naturally 
arises,  how  and  by  whom  was  such  original  issued  to 
the  several  monasteries,  which,  from  their  rank,  or  the 
reputation  of  one  or  other  of  their  inmates,  for  learning 
or  superior  penmanship,  were  deemed  qualified  for  the 
proposed  object  of  multiplying  copies ;  and  where  it 
received  such  additional  matter  as,  on  account  of  local 


1  Under  the  year  1087  (p.  354; 
Transl.  p.  188),  the  writer  of  that 
part  of  the  Laudian  manuscript  (E.) 
speaks  in  the  first  person,  both  sin- 
gular and  plural,  and  informs  us  that 
he  was  not  only  a  contemporary  of, 
and  personally  acquainted  with,  the 
Conqueror,  but  that  he  had  lived  in 
his  court  ;  in  his  own  words :  bonne 
wille  we  be  him  awritan  swa  swa  we 
hine  ageaton  •  be  him  onlocodan  •  i 


oflre  hwile  on  his  hirede  wunedon: 
then  we  will  write  concerning  him  as 
we  understood  him,  who  have  looked 
on  him  and,  at  another  time,  sojourned 
in  his  court.  From  the  above,  how- 
ever, we  can  only  form  the  probable 
conjecture,  that  the  writer,  after  his 
withdrawal  from  court,  joined  the 
brotherhood  in  the  abbey  of  Peter- 
borough.

interest  or  other  circumstances,  might  seem  desirable 
to  those  whose  province  it  was  to  supervise  the 
literary  department  of  the  brotherhood. 

As  contributors  to  the  composition  of  the  Saxon 
Chronicle,  the  names  of  king  iElfred  and  of  archbishops 
Plegemund  and  Dimstan  have  been  mentioned.  This, 
too,  is  pure  conjecture  ;  though,  with  respect  at  least  to 
iElfred  and  Plegemund,  a  conjecture  by  no  means  void 
of  probability;  nor  shall  we  perhaps  greatly  err  in 
assigning  to  their  influence  and  authority  the  earlier  or 
original  portion  of  the  earliest  manuscript,1  ending  with 
the  year  891,  and  which,  from  a  comparison  of  the  form 
of  its  letters  with  those  of  other  manuscripts  of  the 
same  period,  may  be  safely  assigned  to  the  end  of  the 
ninth  century,  and,  with  a  semblance  of  probability,  as 
the  prototype  of  the  other  copies.  In  favour,  too,  of 
iElfred's  participation  in  the  composition  of  the  Chro- 
nicle, may  be  noticed  the  greater  fullness  of  narrative 
that  prevails,  from  the  year  853,  or  soon  after  iElfred's 
birth  ;  also  that  (with  the  exception  of  MS.  Cott.  Domit. 
A.  VIII.),  the  account  of  the  acts  of  that  prince,  is,  in  all 
the  manuscripts,  so  strikingly  similar  ;  while,  in  other 


1  The  Corpus  Christi  manuscript. 
— It  is  the  opinion  of  Dr.  Lappen- 
berg  (England  under  the  A.S.Kings, 
Introd.  p.  xxxix.),  and,  after  him, 
of  the  author  of  the  Preface  to  the 
'  Monumenta  Historica  BritanDica ' 
(p.  75),  that  this  manuscript  is  in  the 
dialect  of  Mercia  ;  an  opinion  which, 
if  well  founded,  would  prove  that 
the  belief  in  iElfred's  participation 
in  the  work  is  wholly  groundless. 
But  the  examples  cited  by  the 
authority  last  mentioned,  in  support 
of  the  dialect  being  Mercian,  seem 
to  me  more  than  questionable  :  as 
cuom  for  com,  Walas  for  Wealas, 
slog    for    slob,    hiera    for   hcora, 


Miercna  for  Mercna  (or  rather  for 
hyra,  Myrcna)  ;  since  in  iElfred's 
Boethius  we  find  hiera  and  hiere, 
with  numerous  other  instances  of  ie 
for  y,  as  ieldran  for  yldran,  etc.  ; 
also  ofslog  for  ofsloh,  and  genog  for 
genoh  ;  Wealas,  too,  occurs  in  this 
very  Corpus  manuscript.  Cuom  for 
com,  may,  with  every  probability, 
be  regarded  as  an  Anglian  form  ; 
though  even  that  may  be  only  an 
archaism,  Goth.  cwam.  The  two 
dialects  have,  I  believe,  been  never 
satisfactorily  distinguished  ;  at  the 
same  time,  we  may,  I  think,  without 
risk  of  error,  pronounce  the  Corpus 
manuscript  of  West  Saxon  origin.

cases,  they  frequently  exhibit  great  deviations  from  each 
other. 

The  testimony  also  supplied  us  by  the  old  French 
chronicle  of  GefFrei  Gaimar,  who  lived  in  the  middle  of 
the  twelfth  century,  is  of  some  authority,  as  tending  to 
corroborate  the  supposition,  that  to  king  ^Elfred  we  are 
indebted  for  a  Saxon  Chronicle,  and,  down  to  his  time, 
probably  in  its  present  form.  According  to  the  same 
chronicler,  that  prince  had  a  copy  of  a  chronicle  at 
Winchester  fastened  by  a  chain,  so  that  all  who  wished 
might  read  ;  but  that  it  might  not  be  taken  from  the 
spot1  ;  a  custom  of  which  traces  still  exist  in  England, 
or  at  least  have  existed,  within  the  memory  of  the  pre- 
sent generation.  A  further  corroboration  of  the  exist- 
ence  of  the  Chronicle  in  its  present  form,  in  the  days  of 
kino*  iElfred,  is  the  circumstance,  that  his  friend,  Asser, 
bishop  of  Sherborne,  translates  and  incorporates  much 
of  its  matter,  in  his  Latin  life  of  his  royal  patron,  from 
the  year  849  to  887. 

The  Saxon  Chronicle  comprises  the  period  from  the 
invasion  of  Britain  by  Julius  Cassar  to  the  accession  of 
Henry  II.  in  A.D.  1154;    and  is,  conjointly  with  the

X  PREFACE. 

Ecclesiastical  History  of  Beda,  the  principal  source 
whence  our  early  chroniclers  have  derived  their  matter. 

What  has  just  been  stated,  with  reference  to  king 
Alfred,  may  perhaps  tend  in  some  degree  to  account  for 
the  distribution  of  copies  of  the  Chronicle  among  certain 
religious  houses,  during  the  reign  of  that  prince  :  but 
how  it  was  continued  in  after-times  we  are  without 
any  intimation  whereupon  to  found  more  than  a  pro- 
bable conjecture ;  although  all  the  extant  copies,  not 
excepting  that  which  least  resembles  the  others  (Domit. 
A.  VIII.),  bear  proofs  of  a  common  prototype,  as  must 
be  evident  to  every  reader  of  the  several  texts  displayed 
in  the  present  edition.  Of  this  subject,  the  passage  from 
the  Scotichronicon,  quoted  below,  offers  a  curious  and 
not  improbable  illustration;1  though,  perhaps,  too  vague 
and  too  recent  to  be  considered  as  evidence. 

While  regarding  Alfred  as  the  probable  originator  of 
the  Saxon  Chronicle,  it  must,  at  the  same  time,  be 
evident  that  in  England  there  already  existed  written 
memorials  of  our  early  times,  whence  he,  or  rather 
perhaps  his  coadjutors,  derived  materials ;  and  to  such 
Beda  alludes,2  in  the  words  :  "  A  principjo  voluminis 
"  hujus  usque  ad  tempus  quo  gens  Anglorum  fidem 
"  Christi  percepit,  ex  priorum  maxime  scriptis,  hinc 
"  inde  collectis,  ea  quee  promeremus  didicimus."  He  also

speaks  of  "  monimenta  literarum  ;"  also  Malmesbury  : 
"  Sunt  sane  qusedam  vetustatis  indicia,  chronico  more 
u  et  jpatrio  sermone,  per  annos  Domini  ordinata."  1 

In  thus  assuming  iElfred  and  Lis  coadjutors  as  the 
originators  of  the  Saxon  Chronicle,  the  question  arises : 
Is  the  Chronicle,  in  succeeding  ages,  to  be  regarded  as 
a  contemporaneous  narrative  of  events?  Generally 
speaking,  I  am  inclined  to  answer  in  the  affirmative, 
although  it  certainly  is  not  free  from  interpolations 
of  later  date.  Such  interpolations  are,  however,  chiefly 
prevalent  in  manuscript  Domitian  A.  VIII.,  and  the 
Laudian  manuscript.  As  an  instance  of  such  interpola- 
tion, may  be  noticed  the  entry  A.D.  876,  in  the  manu- 
script first  mentioned,  where  it  is  said,  that  Rodla 
(Rolf,  Rollo)2  penetrated  into  Normandy,  and  reigned 


1  Prol.  Gest.  Reg. 

-  As  a  progenitor  of  our  Norman 
and  Angevin  kings,  and,  through 
them,  of  the  present  reigning  house, 
a  few  words  (after  the  example 
afforded  by  the  Chronicle  itself,  in 
the  case  of  the  Saxon  and  Anglian 
kings)  concerning  Rolf's  lineage, 
may  not  be  deemed  irrelevant.  Ac- 
cording to  the  idle  tale  told  of  this 
chieftain  by  the  Norman  writers, 
Dudo  of  St.  Quentin,  William  of 
Jumieges,  Benedict  of  St.  More,  and 
Wace,  Rolf  was  a  Dane,  whose 
power  appearing  too  formidable  in 
the  land,  the  king  led  a  force  against 
him  and  his  brother  Garin,  or  Gurim 
(Gorm  ?)  ;  but,  in  an  attempt  to 
take  his  castle,  was  put  to  flight, 
though  he  afterwards  worsted  him 
through  an  ambuscade  ;  from  which, 
however,  Rolf  escaped,  though  his 
brother  Garin  was  slain.  He  after- 
wards sailed  to  Scotland,  and  fi- 
nally invaded  and  won  the  province 
thenceforward     called     Normandy. 


This  story  is  probably  the  inven- 
tion of  a  chronicler  anxious  to  flatter 
the  pride  of  his  ducal  patron. 
Far  more  probable  is  the  account 
given  by  Snorri  (Heimskringla, 
ch.  24),  that  Rolf  was  a  son  of 
Rognvald,  jarl  of  Moeri  in  Norway, 
and,  as  we  are  told,  was  of  so  gi- 
gantic a  stature,  that  he  was  com- 
pelled to  go  on  foot,  whence  his 
appellation  of  Hrolfr  gavngr,  or  Rolf 
the  ganger  or  walker.  For  his  plun- 
derings  (strandhug)  on  the  coast  of 
Norway,  he  was  expelled  from  the 
country  by  king  Harald  Harfagri. 
William  of  Malmesbury  (and  from 
him,  Alberic)  says  of  him  :  "  De 
"  nobili,  sed  per  vetustatem  obsoleta, 
"  prosapiaNoricorumeditus."  Dudo 
calls  him  the  son  of  a  truly  free 
man,  who,  for  no  feudal  obligation, 
would  place  his  hands  between  those 
of  another.  And  again  :  "  Rollo 
"  superbo  regum  ducumque  san- 
'•'  guine  natus." 


XU  PREFACE. 

fifty  years.  The  date  (876)  of  Rolf's  landing  in  France 
is  correctly  given,  at  least  it  accords  both  with  Orde- 
ricus  Vitalis  and  Florence  of  Worcester.  The  year  of 
his  death  is  variously  given ;  for,  according  to  another 
interpolated  entry,  in  the  same  manuscript,  the  acces- 
sion of  his  son,  William  I.,  took  place  in  the  year  928, 
and  this  date  accords  with  that  assigned  by  the  Chron. 
Alberici  for  the  death  of  Rolf.  In  fact,  all  the  entries 
in  this  manuscript  respecting  Normandy,  previous  to  the 
Conquest,  as  well  as  some  others,  may  safely  be  placed 
to  the  account  of  the  monastic  scribe,  and  not  belonging 
to  the  genuine  Chronicle. 

A  remarkable  case  of  what  would  be  pronounced 
an  interpolation,  did  it  not  appear  in  no  less  than 
five  of  the  six  manuscripts,  occurs  under  the  year  755, 
under  which  date,  an  event,  the  murder  of  Cynewulf, 
is  recorded,  which  did  not  occur  until  784,  when  it  is 
again,  and  rightly,  mentioned.  This  instance  would,  if 
needful,  tend  to  show,  that  as  early  as  the  time  of  iElfred 
there  was  one  model  whence  the  other  copies  were 
taken,  with  the  exception  of  MS.  Domitian,  A.  vin., 
which  can  hardly  be  dated  earlier  than  the  middle 
of  the  twelfth  century,  and  may  be  pronounced  a  care- 
less composition,  by  more  hands  than  one,  from  begin- 
ning to  end. 

From  the  beginning  of  the  Chronicle  to  the  death 
of  Beda  (A.D.  734),  we  are  enabled  to  form  a  judgment 
as  to  the  sources  whence  much  of  its  matter  is  derived  ; 
but  from  that  date  until  the  time  of  iElfred  (or  about 
a  hundred  and  fifty  years),  we  know  not  from  what 
materials  the  narrative  was  compiled.  Tradition,  which 
in  those  days  must  have  been  in  much  greater  request 
than  it  is  now,  no  doubt  contributed  its  share ;  some 
marginal  notes  also  in  the  volumes  of  monastic  libraries, 
may  have  afforded  information,  as,  it  appears,  was  the 
case  on  the  Continent ;  although  I  am  not  aware  tha 
any  such  are  extant  in  this  country. 


PREFACE.  Xlll 

Such  a  continuous  chain  of  occurrences  as  that  ex- 
hibited in  the  Anglo-Saxon  Chronicle,  would,  it  is  rea- 
sonable to  suppose,  display  a  gradation  of  changes 
in  the  Anglo-Saxon  tongue,  during  the  two  centuries 
from  the  time  of  iElfred  to  the  death  of  Harold :  such 
is  not,  however,  the  case,  as  the  language  is  the  same 
throughout,  with  regard  both  to  its  vocabulary  and  its 
inflexions ;  nor  until  some  time  after  the  Conquest 
do  we  observe  any  material  corruptions ;  they  then 
begin  to  be  but  too  manifest.     Yet,  even  here  we  have

hardly  a  just  criterion  in  the  Peterborough,  or  Laudian, 
manuscript,  much  of  the  later  parts  of  which  are  evi- 
dently the  work  of  illiterate,  or  even  foreign,  monks, 
glaringly  ignorant  of  the  use  of  genders  and  cases. 
From   this   period  may  be  dated  the  break-up  of  the 

old  "  English  undefiled."     The  evil  was  for  some  time

partial  in  its  influence :  its  focus  was  the  Norman 
court ;  the  Saxon,  at  least  its  vocabulary,  long  kept  its 
ground  in  the  country  :  as  an  example  of  this  may 
be  compared  the  courtly  jargon  of  Chaucer  with  the 
rugged  downright  Saxon  of  Piers  Ploughman.

I-  regret  my  inability  to  supply  any  information 
relative  to  the  authors  of  the  poetic  effusions  in  the 
Saxon  Chronicle.  Are  they  by  the  writers  of  the  prose 
narrative,  or  are  they  only  insertions?  The  latter 
seems  to  me  the  more  probable  opinion.  Of  these, 
the  first,  not  only  in  the  order  of  time,  but  in  excellence, 
is  the  ode  on  the  Battle  of  Brunnanburh  (A.D.  937) ; 
and  a  matter  it  is  of  regret  that  the  name  of  its  author 
has  irrecoverably  perished.  Of  the  other  pieces,  little 
can  be  said  in  praise  ;  they  are  rather  rhythmical  and 
alliterative  prose  than  poetry  ;  while,  on  the  other  hand, 
the  effusion  on  the  assassination  of  king  Eadward,  and 
the  account  of  the  murder  of  the  young  prince  iElfred, 
son  of  the  Confessor,  may  be  regarded  as  unmetrical 
poetry.  In  preceding  editions  of  the  Chronicle  an 
attempt   has  been    made   to   reduce   them   to  metrical

arrangement,  but  as  they  are  defective  both  in  rhythm 
and  alliteration,  I  have  printed  them  continuously,  as 
in  the  manuscripts. 

Of  the  chronology  of  the  Anglo-Saxons,  before  their 
conversion  to  Christianity,  or  from  what  data  the 
writers  of  the  Chronicle  reduced  the  time  of  events, 
down  to  the  coming  of  Augustine  (A.D.  596),  to  the 
era  of  the  Incarnation,1  we  have  no  knowledge  ;  though 
that  our  pagan  forefathers  had  some  system  of  time- 
reckoning  there  cannot  be  a  doubt. 

In  this  edition  of  the  Saxon  Chronicle,  the  texts  of 
the  several  manuscripts  are  printed  entire ;  a  plan 
which,  at  first  sight,  may  appear  objectionable,  on  the 
score  of  the  great  mass  of  repetition  it  necessarily 
occasions  of  matter  not  only  substantially  but  fre- 
quently verbatim  and  even  literatim  identical.  But  to 
produce  the  Chronicle  complete,  there  was  no  midway 
between  the  plan  here  adopted,  and  the  less  satisfac- 
tory one  hitherto  followed,  of  taking  the  most  esteemed 
manuscript  for  a  text,  and  printing  beneath  all  devia- 
tions from  it,  in  the  shape  of  various  readings,  un- 
pleasant and  inconvenient  to  consult,  and,  it  is  believed, 
by  only  a  few  readers,  ever  consulted ;  and  frequently 
equalling  in  mass,  and  sometimes  exceeding,  the  text 
itself.  Nor  does  this  method  afford  the  requisite  facility 
to  those  desirous  of  weighing  the  several  narratives  of 
the  same  event  against  each  other,  as  the  narrative  of 
a  West  Saxon  against  that  of  a  Mercian  ;  or  of  a  par- 
tisan of  earl  Godwine  and  Harold  against  that  of  one 
inimical   to  their   house.      And    to  the  investigator  of 


1  There  are  some  anomalous  ap- 
pearances with  respect  to  the  time  of 
beginning  the  year  in  MS.  C.  (Cott. 
Tiber.  B.  i.),  before  this  period;  but 
henceforward  to  the  year  1053,  it 
can  hardly  be  questioned  that  the 


computation  from  Easter  is  followed 
in  that  copy.  This  event,  therefore 
(king  Eadward's  marriage),  ac- 
cording to  our  mode  of  reckoning, 
would  belong  to  the  year  1045.

dialects  the  arrangement  in  columns  cannot  be  other- 
wise than  useful  and  welcome.  The  foregoing  con- 
siderations will,  it  is  hoped,  be  deemed  a  sufficient 
apology  for  the  plan  here  adopted. 

Of  the  translation  the  text  is  formed  from  those  of 
the  original  which,  coinciding  in  matter,  are  susceptible 
of  collation ;  all  deviations  from  which  are  placed 
beneath  the  line,  with  an  indication  at  foot  of  the 
manuscript  whence  such  discrepant  or  additional  matter 
is  derived. 

A  few  words  here  may  not  be  oufc  of  place  respecting 
the  pronunciation  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  letters,  in  the 
proper  names  of  persons  and  places  occurring  in  the 
Chronicle.  J"  has  the  sound  of  the  English  y,  as  in 
all  the  Germanic  tongues,  and  in  Italian ;  c  is  pro- 
nounced  like  k  ;  though,  when  the  language,  owing 
apparently  to  foreign  influence,  had  lost  its  purity, 
with  respect  both  to  its  pronunciation  and  vocabulary, 
this  sound  of  k  before  e  and  i  degenerated  into  ch, 
like  the  Italian  ce  and  ci ;  when  ceap,  ceorl,  dime,  cirice, 
became  our  cheap,  churl,  chin,  church,  Scotice  kirk. 
In  later  times,  too,  the  \  (S)  in  proper  names  of  per- 
sons beginning  with  iE]?el,  is  often  found  changed  to  g, 
as  iEgelred  for  iE]?elred,  iEgelward  for  iE]>elward,  etc. 
The  Saxon  g,  as  in  German,  was  always  hard,  as  in 
our  give,  begin,  and  in  general  before  e  and  i,  in  all 
English  words  derived  from  the  Saxon. 

The  Indexes  have  been  framed  on  the  model  of  my 
predecessors,  Bishop  Gibson  and  Dr.  Ingram,  to  whose 
praiseworthy  labours  in  that  department  I  have  made 
some  additions.  Of  such  Anglo-Saxon  terms  as  are 
necessarily  retained  in  the  translation,  a  short  Glossary 
is  given  at  the  end  of  the  second  volume.  For  ampler 
explanation  of  these  terms,  recourse  may  be  had  to 
the  late  Mr.  Kemble's  "  Saxons  in  England,"  Hallam's 
"  State  of  Europe  during  the  Middle  Ages/'  Spelman's 
"  Glossarium  ArchEeologicuro,"  etc.

The  manuscripts  of  which  the  texts  are  here  printed 
are — 

A.  A  small  folio  on  vellum,  belonging  to  the  library 
of  Corpus  Christi  College,  Cambridge,  marked  c.lxxiii. 
(formerly  S.  XI.),  containing  the  Annals  of  England  from 
the  invasion  of  Julius  Cassar  to  A.D.  1070.  Prefixed 
to  this  manuscript  is  a  Genealogy  of  the  West  Saxon 
Kings,  from  the  landing  of  Cerdic  and  his  son  Cynric, 
to  the  accession  of  iElfred.  "  It  is  written  in  double 
"  columns  to  the  year  417,  at  fol.  9,  but  afterwards  in 
"  single  columns.  The  first  original  hand  ends  at 
"  page  33,  with  the  year  891,  whence  it  is  continued 
"  in  a  variety  of  hands.  Between  A.D.  1  and  A.D.  891, 
"  it  contains  many  interlineary  additions,  apparently 
"  of  the  twelfth  century.  They  are,  for  the  greater 
"  part,  written  on  erasures  of  the  original  text,  mostly 
"  taken  from  Beda,  through  the  medium,  as  it  would 
"  seem,  of  a  copy  resembling  D.  or  E.,  and  were  appa- 
"  rently  intended  to  supply  deficiencies  in  the  original 
'■'  narrative.  The  narrative  of  this  copy  to  A.D.  80G, 
"  relates  chiefly  to  transactions  south  of  the  Thames,  its 
"  notices  of  Northern  matters  being  generally  brief  and 
"  taken  from  Beda ;  but  from  that  year  it  becomes 
"  general  to  A.D.  925.  Afterwards  its  notices  are  few,

"  written  in  one  uniform  hand,  apparently  of  the  latter 
"  part  of  the  tenth  century ;  but  it  may  be  doubted 
"  whether  the  transcript  was  completed,  as  the  dates

"  by  the  addition  of  many  events  relating  especially

"  imply  the  existence  of  a  distinct  Chronicle,  at  least 
"  during  the  greater  part  of  the  eighth  century ;  and

from  Manuscript  A.,  together  with  a  few  notes.  To 
A.D.  891,  in  common  with  Manuscript  D.,  it  is 
derived  from  a  copy  similar  to  Manuscript  A.,  but 
with  large  additions,  either  from  Beda  or  from  a 
copy  like  that  used  for  Manuscript  D.  It  contains 
only  a  few  scanty  notices  between  A.D.  891  and 
A.D.  975,  many  years  being  wholly  blank ;  but  from 
that  time  it  agrees  more  or  less  with  Manuscripts 
C,  D,  and  F,  till  they  severally  end.  From  A.D.  655 
it  has  many  late  additions  concerning  Peterborough, 
to  which  monastery  it  appears  to  have  belonged.  It 
has  also  certain  Latin  notices  interspersed  between 
A.D.  114  and  A.D.  812,  which  are  derived  from  a 
source  similar  to  that  of  the  Chronicon  Cadomense, 
printed  by  Duchesne/' 1 

F.  "  The  Cottonian  Manuscript,  Domitian  A.  vm.  2.,

octavo  or  small  quarto,  is  in  a  hand  apparently  of  the 
twelfth  century,  and  nearly  of  the  same  character 
throughout.  It  is  often  carelessly  written,  has  many 
erasures,  and  is  sometimes  illegible,  in  which  state  it 
ends.  Its  basis  to  A.D.  891,  in  common  with  Manu- 
scripts D.  and  E.,  was  a  copy  similar  to  Manuscript 
G.,  with  many  additions,  for  the  greater  part  resem- 
bling those  copies ;  but  the  text,  as  compared  with 
them,  is  generally  compressed  or  slightly  abbreviated. 
Like  Manuscript  E.,  it  contains  very  little  between 
A.D.   891    and  A.D.    975,   after  which  latter  date  it

beneath  the  line,  so  as  not  to  inter- 
rupt the  general  narrative.     It  may 


be  here  observed,  that  the  latter 
part  of  this  manuscript  is  rather  a

manuscripts  of  a  heterogeneous  and  miscellaneous  cha- 
racter, containing  the  genealogy  of  the  West  Saxon 
kings,  from  Cerdic  to  Eadward,  son  of  Eadgar,  with

Tiberius  A.  VL,  which  it  not  only  resembles  in  its 
orthography  and  the  form  of  its  letters,  but,  like 
that  manuscript,  ends  just  before  the  murder  of  Ead- 
warcl,  A.D.  977  i  it  is,  therefore,  inserted  in  the  present 
edition  immediately  after  that  date. 

"The  Anglo-Saxon  Chronicle  was  first  published, 
"  under  the  title  of  'Chronologia  Anglo-Saxonica,' 
by  Abraham  Wheloc,  at  Cambridge,  in  the  year 
1644,  in  folio,  with  a  Latin  translation.  His  text 
was  taken  from  the  Cottonian  Manuscript,  Otho  B. 
xi.,  collated  with  the  Corpus  Christi  Manuscript, 
c   C.LXXIII." 

"  It  was  next  edited  by  Edmund  Gibson,  afterwards 
'  Bishop  of  London,  at  Oxford,  in  the  year  1692,  in

*  the  Bodleian  Manuscript,  Laud.  636,  and  copies  of  the 
'  Cottonian,  Tiberius  A.  vi.  and  Domitian  A.  vni.

'  greatly  enlarged,  he  added  a  preface,  notes,  and 
'  indexes,  glossarial  and  chronological." 

"The  latest  edition  was  published  at  London  in 
'  1823,  in  quarto,  by  the  Reverend  James  Ingram, 
'  B.D.,  afterwards  President  of  Trinity  College,  Ox- 
'  ford.  Dr.  Ingram  collated  all  the  known  manu- 
'  scripts,  among  which  were  two  in  the  Cottonian 
'  collection  (viz.,  Tiber.  B.  I.  and  Tiber.  B.  iv.)  not 
'  employed  by  Gibson ;  and  of  his  text,  thus  con- 
1  siderably  enlarged,  he  gave  an  English  version, 
'  together  with  a  preface,  notes,  indexes  of  persons 
c  and  places,  and  a  brief  grammar  of  the  Anglo- 
(  Saxon  language/' 

An  edition  to  the  Anglo-Saxon  Chronicle,  down  to 
the  date  of  the  Norman  conquest,  is  included  in  the 
'  Monumenta  Historica  Britannica/  published  in  the 
year  1848,  in  folio,  by  Royal  authority.  This  edition, 
with   an  English   translation,   is  by  the   late   eminent 

c 


XXll  PKEFACE. 

Anglo-Saxon  scholar,  Mr.  Kichard  Price,  and  is,  as 
far  as  it  extends,  in  every  respect  greatly  superior  to 
any  of  the  preceding  ones.  In  the  present  work  a 
few  of  Mr.  Price's  notes  are  retained,  and  are  distin- 
guished by  the  initials  K.P. 

I  have  now  to  express  my  sincere  thanks  to  Dr. 
Reinhold  Pauli,  Professor  of  History  in  the  Univer- 
sity of  Tubingen,  the  able  continuator  (in  German) 
of  Dr.  Lappenberg's  History  of  England,  and  author 
of  the  Life  of  King  iElfred,  for  his  kindness,  when 
leaving  England,  in  spontaneously  presenting  me  with 
his  transcripts  of  the  Cottonian  Manuscripts  of  the 
Saxon  Chronicle,  Tiberius  B.  I.,  Tiberius  B.  IV.,  and 
Domitian  A.  VIII.,  and  his  collation  of  Tiberius  A.  VI. 
with  Tiberius  B.  I. ;  a  favour  for  which  I  acknowledge 
myself  deeply  indebted.

"  statim  cum  Deus  pacem  nobis  dederit,  aut  isti  clerici  monachi  fient,  aut  ego  ubicunque  monachos

Iste  fuit  prudens  valde,  ita  ut  illo  in  tempore  nullus  sapientior  haberetur  in  Anglia.  Recedente 
itaque  inde  rege,  vElfricus  pergit  Doroberniam.  Ubi  cum  venisset,  receptus  est  a  tali  ordine  cleri- 
corum  a  quo  minus  vellet.  Cogitavit  igitur,  et  multum  secum  tractans,  quali  modo  possit  eicere 
cos,  quos  sciebat  in  ecclesia  Christi  injuste  mansisse.  Ut  supra  diximus,  valde  fuit  prudens,  et 
ecclesiasticis  disciplinis  plurimum  instructus:  itaque  prsccepit  congregari  omnes  quos  sciebat  pruden- 
tiores  per  totam  Angliam,  et  maxime  senes.  Ad  quern  cum  pro  reverentia  viri  [festina]nter  venis- 
sent,  requisivit  ab  eis  si  quid  aut  ipsi  a  suis  antecessoribus  de  ecclesia  Christi  Cantiae  audissent, 
aut  ipsi  in  aliquo  loco  [legi]ssent,  quis  ordo  in  praedicta  aecclesia  Deo  servire  debuisset,  clericorum 
aut  monachorum,  aut  quis  eo  tempore,  postquam  Agustinus  Angliam  ingresset,  ibi  locatus  esset  in 
initio?  ipse  vero  multa  a  multis  antea  inde  audivit,  et  in  libris  legit.  Tunc  seniores  et  prudentiorcs 
narraverunt  ei,  quod  inde  a  suis  patribus  audissent :  "  Postquam  Deus,  inquiunt,  per  beatum  Augus- 
tinum,  aperuit  cor  regis  JEdelberti  ad  suscipiendam  fidem  Christi,  ipse  Augustinus  elegit  sibi  sedem 
in  civitate  Dorobernia  [qua;  er]at  caput  totius  regni  iEdelberti  regis,  ubi  invenit  quoddam  opus 
inceptum  Romano  opere,  quod  auxiliante  rege  statuit  perficcre.  Quod  dum  perfectum  [esset]  rex 
iEgelbertus  cepit  consilium  quaerere  ab  Augustino  et  a  caeteris  consiliariis  suis,  quern  ordinem 
monachorum  vel  clericorum  convenientius  in  ilia  ecclesia  [ad]  serviendum  Deo  constituere 
potuisset.  Qui  omnes  dederunt  consilium,  ut  rex  ex  sua  parte  mitteret  nuncios  suos,  et  Augustinus 
monacbos  suos  cum  nunciis  regis  Romac,  ad  papam  Gi'egorium,  et  ejus  consilio,  sicut  antea  idem 
Augustinus  venit  in  Angliam,  ita  et  ecclesia  jam  nominata  dedica[retur]  et  ordinaretur.  Quod  et 
factum  est.  Nam  rex  statim,  paratis  nuntiis  suis,  misit  Romae,  et  Augustinus  nichilominus  suos. 
Cum  autem  venissent  ad  papam,  et  nuntias[sent]  quod  Angli  suscepissent  fidem  Christi,  gavisus 
est  valde.  Auditis  itaque  omnibus  quae  a  rege  et  Augustino  mandata  fuerant,  statim  remisit 
nuntios,  cum  quibus  hos  viros  misit  Augustino,  ut  essent  ei  in  adjutorium  ad  fidem  Christi  con- 
firmandam  :  Mellitnm,  Justum,  Paulinum,  Rufianum.  Per  istos  ctiam  misit  Augustino  pallium  ; 
[simulque]  in  quo  loco  deberet  episcopos  co-ordinare  et  ponere  mandavit ;  ccclesiam  quoque  quam 
fecerat  in  honorcm  Jhesu  Christi,  et  S.  Maries  matris  ejus,  prsecepit  dedi[cari,  ej]usdemque  ordinis 
quo  ipse  Augustinus,  et  alii  quos  ipse  sibi  misit,  erant,  in  eadem  ecclesia,  ad  serviendum  Deo 
ponere,  sibique  ibidem  sedem  archiepiscopalem,  et  omnibus  suc[cessoribus]  suis  statucre,  omn^sque

et  omnium  sue  [cess]  orum  prsecepit.  Cum  autem  nuntii  reversi  venissent  ad  regem  et  ad  Agus- 
tinum,  gaudio  maximo  repleti  sunt,  pro  tali  mandate  Tunc  Augustinus  festinanter  [dedicavit] 
ecclesiam,  illo  die  quo  festum  Sanctorum  Primi  et  Feliciani,  v.  Idus  Junii,  habetur,  posuitque  in  ea 
monachos,  sicut  papa  mandavit ;  et  ex  ipsis  ordinabantur  episcopi  per  Angliam,  [sicut]  ipse  legisti 
in  Ystoria  Anglorum."  Itaque  cum  ista  iElfricus  arcbiepiscopus  audisset,  et  tales  testes  habuisset, 
qui  illo  tempore  maxime  in  consilio  regis  erant,  [ga]udio  repletus  est.  Addiderunt  adhuc  prsedicti, 
viri :  "Ita,"  sicut  diximus,  "  permanseruntmonacbi  in  ecclesia  Christi  Can tuarise,  tempore  Augustini, 
Laurentii,  Melliti,  Justi,  [Hon]orii,  Deusdedit,  Theodorii,Brihtwaldi,  Tatwini,  Nothelmi,  Cuthberti, 
Breguuini,  Janberti,  Aftelhardi,  Wulfredi,  Feologildi.  Illo  vero  primo  anno  [quo  Ch]elnodus 
suscepit  arcbiepiscopatum  Cantise,  tanta  mortalitas  facta  est,  ut  in  ecclesia  Christi  non  remanerent 
nisi  v.  monachi,  et  ideo  pro  tali  necessitate  idem  C.  arcbiepiscopus  accepit  de  [clericis]  suis  pres- 
biteros,  qui  quousque  restauraret  ecclesiam  monachis,  juvarent  paucos  monachos  qui  remanserunt. 
Nunc  autem  est  in  potestate  regis  et  tua,  si  diutius  vultis  ut  ■  ibi  clerici  remaneant  ;  quia  postquam 
pro  tali  necessitate  ibi  positi  sunt,  non  potuerunt  levius  eici  quam  modo."  Tunc  archiepiscopus  cum 
magna  festinatione  cum,  his  omnibus  quos  secum  ibi  habebat,  perrexit  ad  regem  iEgelbertum,  et 
indicavit  ei  per  ordinem  hsec  omnia.  Tunc  dixit  accepto  consilio  rex  :  "  Hoc  videtur  mihi  melius  con- 
silium, ut  eatis  Romse  pro  pallio  vestro,  et  indicetis  apostolico ....  hsec  omnia,  et  secundum  suam 
consilium  per  omnia  fieri  concedo."   Dixerunt  omnes,  optimum  esse  consiUum  regis  :  archiepiscopus

autem,  paratis  rebus  suis,  perrexit  Romam.  Statim  vero  ut  clerici  audierunt  consilium  regis,  para- 
verunt  duos  ex  ipsis  qui  irent  Romee,  portantes  secum  multum  auri  et  argenti,  quod  darent  papae  pro 
pallio.  Sed  uuntii  archiepiscopi  praecesserunt.  Nam  cum  clerici  pervenerunt  ad  papain,  respondit, 
Se  nolle  illorum  verba  suscipere,  quia  nullum  signum  nee  a  rege  nee  a  populo  terra;  secum  haberent. 
Discedentibus  clericis,  venit  arcbiepiscopus  ad  papam,  qui  suscepit  eum  cum  magno  honore.  In 
crastino  fecit  eum  celebrare  missam  ad  altare  beati  Petri,  et  ipse  [imposuit]  ei  proprium  pallium 
suum.  Cum  hajc  ita  facta  essent,  archiepiscopus  cepit  dicere  pape  de  clericis,  et  de  ecclesia  Christi, 
sicut  superius  dictum  est  ;  et  papa  ei  de  clericis,  quomodo  venerunt  ad  eum,  et  quod  obtulerunt  sibi 
magnam  pecuniam  pro  pallio ;  et  adjecit  papa  :  "  Redite  in  Angliam  cum  benedictione  Dei,  et  Sancti 
Petri  ;  et  in  ecclesia  tibi  commendata,  ejusclem  ordinis  in  ea  ponite,  quem  papa  Gregorius  Augus- 
tino  praecepit ;  et  hoc  tibi  preecipio  ex  parte  Dei,  et  beati  Petri,  et  nostra."  Tunc  archiepiscopus  ita 
rediit.  Cum  autem  revertisset  in  Angliam,  statim  adiit  ecclesiam  suam,  et  post  adiit  regem  ;  et 
lsetatus  est  rex  et  omnis  Anglia  [de]  reditu  suo,  et  quod  omnia  secundum  voluntatem  regis  peregit. 
Post  hec  reversus  ad  sedem  suam,  et  ejectis  clericis,  locavit  ecclesiam  monachis,  sicut  papa  ilium 
imperaverat,  secundum  quod  beatus  G.  pracepit  Augustino  facere  in  primordio  ecclesise.  f

copyist  being  about  to  write  "  manig,"  which  immediately  follows.

1  From  here  to  the  end  of  the  year  the  language  becomes  extremely  ungrammatical  and  corrupt, 
quite  unlike  the  foregoing,  but  resembling  that  of  the  spurious  and  doubtful  charters  at  pp.  52,  58, 
92,  122,  220.  The  matter  is  moreover  connected  with  the  abbey  of  Peterborough,  and  is  probably 
the  work  of  a  friend  of  Ernulfus,  to  whom  we  owe  the  Textus  Roffensis.

*  m.lxx.  Hoc   anno,*  Lanfrancus    Cadomensis    abbas,   compellente  rege  Willhelmo,   e 

jubente  papa  Alexandro,  Angliam  venit ;  et  primatum  regni  Anglorum  in  secclesia 
Cantuariensi  suscepit,  eligentibus  eura  senioribus  ejusdem  ascclesiae,  cum  episcopis 
et  principibus,  clero  et  populo  Angliae,  in  curia  regis.  Cum  autem  Cantuariam 
venisset,  obviam  ei  processit  honorabiliter  conventus  aecclesiae  Christi,  conjuncto 
sibi  toto  conventu  Sancti  Augustini,  cum  electo  ejusdem  ascclesiae  abbate  Scotlando. 
Ad  quern  consecrandum  omnes  episcopi  regni  Anglorum,  servato  antiquo  more, 
venerunt :  et  qui  venire  non  poterant,  litteris  et  legatione  sese  humiliter  excusa- 
verunt.  Non  multis  post  diebus  Thomas  Eboracensi  consecrandus  archiepiscopus 
Cantuariam  venit.  Cumque  Lanfrancus,  cum  suffraganeis  episcopis,  quos  ad  hanc 
consecrationem  advocaverat,  indutus,  ante  altare  Xpi  consideret ;  et  totus  con- 
ventus, ut  in  tali  sacramento  fieri  solet,  albis  honorifice  indutus,  in  choro  staret, 
adducitur  Thomas  examinandus.  Cum  vero  inter  alia  professionem  ab  eo  Lan- 
francus cum  sacramento  requireret,  respondit  Thomas,  se  hoc  minime  facturum, 
quod  suos  antecessores  hoc  Lanfranci  antecessoribus  fecisse  non  cognoverat. 
Lanfrancus  autem,  quanvis  sufficient  ratione,  hoc  eum  ex  antiquo  more  facere 
debere  monstraret,  non  tamen  ille  adquievit :  surrexit  itaque  Lanfrancus,  et  Thomas 
non  sacratus  abscessit,  regem  adiit,  et  de  Lanfranco  querimoniam  fecit ;  quern 
Lanfrancus    mox  subsecutus,  se  et  aecclesiam  suam  rationem   habere  in  iis   qua3 

*  protulcrat.  *  protulaverat,  ostendit ;  nee  destitit,  donee  Thomas,  licet  multo  labore,  Cantuariam 

rediit,  ibique  quicquid  Lanfrancus  ab  eo  quasrebat,  humiliter  exhibuit.  Nee 
multo  post  Lanfrancus  ab  omnibus  Anglici  regni  episcopis  professionem  quaesivit  et 
accepit. 

Secundo  anno  ordinationis  suae  Romani  ivit,  quern  papa  Alexander  in  tantum 
honoravit,  ut  ei  contra  morem  assurgeret,  et  duo  pallia,  ob  signum  praecipui 
amoris,  tribueret ;  quorum  unum  Romano  more  ab  altare  accepit,  alterum  vero 
ipse  papa,  unde  missas  celebrare  consueverat,  sua  manu  porrexit  :  in  cujus  prae- 
sentia  Thomas  de  primatu  Cantuariensis  aecclesiae,  et  de  subjectione  quorundam 
episcoporum,  calumniam  movit,  quae  qualem  finem  postea  in  Anglia  accepit, 
Lanfrancus  breviter  et  absolute  scribit  in  epistola,  quam  praefato  Alexandro 
papae  direxit.  Hoc  quoque  anno  generale  concilium  Wentoniae  celebravit,  in  quo 
et  Vuluricum,  Novi  Monasterii  abbatem  deposuit,  multaque  de  Christianae  religi- 
onis  cultu  servanda  instituit.  Post  dies  paucos,  in  Lundonia  Osbernum,  Essecis- 
trensi  episcopum,  et  Cantuariae  Scotlandum,  aecclesiae  Sancti  Augustini  abbatem, 
sacravit.

Tercio  anno,  in  Cioecistra  sacravit  Petrum  Licifeldensi,  sive  Cestrensi,  epi- 
scopum. Hoc  quoque  anno  habitum  est  magnum  placitum  in  loco  qui  dicitur 
Pinenden,  in  quo  Lanfrancus  diratiocinavit,  se  suamque  aecclesiam  omnes  terras 
et  consuetudines  suas  ita  liberas,  terra  marique  habere,  sicut  rex  habet  suas, 
exceptis  tribus,  videlicet,  si  regalis  via  fuerit  effosa ;  si  arbor  incisa  juxta  super 
cam  ceciderit ;  si  homicidium  factum,  vel  sanguis  in  ea  fusus  fuerit :  in  iis  qui 
deprehensus,  et  ab  eo  pignus  acceptum  fuerit  ;  regi  enim  dabit ;  alioquin  liber  a 
regis  exactoribus  erit. 

Quarto  anno,  Patricium  Dublinia3  civitati,  in  Hybernia,  sacravit  episcopum 
Lundonia3,  a  quo  et  professionem  accepit ;  et  litteras  ei  deferendas  regibus 
Hybernias,  dignas  valde  memorise,  contradidit. 

Quinto  anno,  generale  concilium  Lundoniae  celebravit,  cujus  gestionem,  rogatu 
multorum,  litteris  commendavit. 

Sexto  anno,  dedit  Hernosto,  monaclio  in  capitulo  aecclesiae  Christi,  secclesiam 
Kofensem  regendam,  quem  et  Lundonie  sacravit.  Wentonie  concilium  celebravit : 
et  Hernostus  hoc  ipso  anno  ab  hac  vita  migravit. 

Septimo  anno,  Gundulfo  modo  aecclesiam  Rofensem  tradidit  ;  quem  etiam 
Cantuarie  sacravit.  Hoc  quoque  anno  misit  ei  litteras  Thomas  archiepiscopus 
Eboracensis,  in  quibus  rogavit  ut  sibi  mitterentur  duo  episcopi  ad  consecrandum 
clericum  quendam,  qui  ei  litteras  de  Horgadis  insulis  detulit,  ut  ipsarum  insularum 
episcopus  consecraretur.  Cujus  petitioni  Lanfrancus  annuens,  mandavit  Wlstano 
Wigorniensi,  et  Petro  Cestrensi  episcopis,  ut  Eboracam  irent,  et  cum  Thoma 
tantam  rem  complere  satagerent. 

Octavo  anno,  concilium  Londonie  celebravit,  in  quo  Ailnodum,  Glastingensis 
coenobii  abbatem,  deposuit. 

Anno  xi.,  celebravit  concilium  apud  Claudiam  civitatem,  ubi  et  Thomas  archi- 
episcopus Eboracensis,  jubente  rege,  etLanfranco  consentiente,  sacravit  Willielmum 
Dunelmensi  episcopum  ;  eo  quod  a  Scottorum  episcopis,  qui  sibi  subjecti  sunt, 
habere  adjutorium  non  potuit.  Hujus  ministerii  cooperatores  fuerunt,  Lanfranco 
praecipiente,  Wlstanus,  Osbernus,  Giso,  Rotbertus,  episcopi.  Eo  quoque  tempore, 
misit  in  Hiberniam  Donnaldo  episcopo  litteras  sacrae  doctrinae  pinguedine  refertas. 

Sexto  decimo  anno,  sacravit  Donatum,  monachum  suum  Cantuarie,  ad  regnum 
Dublinias,  petente  rege,  clero,  et  populo  Hyberniae,  quibus  etiam  litteras  exorta- 
torias  misit.  Hoc  quoque  anno,  apud  Cleucestram  concilium  celebravit,  in  quo 
Wulfecetelum,  Crulandensis  coenobii  abbatem,  deposuit.  Rotbertum  Cestrensi,  et 
Willielmum  Helmeanensi,  simul  uno  die  episcopos  Cantuariae  sacravit,  Mauritium 
Lundoniensi  aecclesiae  apud  Wentoniam  consecravit;  qui  sacratus,  post  paucos  dies, 
matri  suas  aecclesiae  Cantuariensi,  cum  honestis  muncribus,  se  praesentavit. 

Octavo  decimo  anno,  mortuo  rege  Willielmo  trans  mare,  filium  ejus  Williel- 
mum, sicut  pater  constituit,  Lanfrancus  in  regem  elegit,  et  in  ecclesia  beati 
Petri,  in  occidentali  parte  Lundoniae  sita,  sacravit,  et  coronavit.  Eodem  anno 
Godefridum  Cicestrensi  aecclesise  antistitem,  et  Widonem  aecclesie  Sci  Augustini 
abbatem,  et  Johannem  Wellensi  aecclesiae  episcopum,  Cantuariae,  in  sede  metropoli, 
examinavit,  atque  sacravit.     In  crastino  hujus  consecrationis,  Widonem  abbatem

per  semetipsum  Lanfrancus,  associate)  sibi  Odone  Baiocensi  episcopo,  fratre  regis, 
qui  lunc  Cantuariam  venerat,  ad  Scm  Augustinum  duxit,  mandatis  fratribu3 
ejusdem  occclesisc,  quatinus  eum  susciperent,  ut  proprium  abbatem  atque  pastorem  ; 
qui  unanimiter  animati,  responderunt,  se  illi  nee  velle  subesse,  nee  ilium  suscipere. 
Venit  itaque  Lanfrancus,  adducens  abbatem  ;  et  cum  monachos  pertinaciter 
videret  resistere,  nee  ei  velle  parere,  praecepit  ut  omnes  qui  sibi  nollent  obedire, 
continuo  exirent.  Exierunt  ergo  pariter  fere  omnes,  et  Lanfrancus  cum  suis 
abbatem  honorifice  introductum  in  sede  locavit,  et  secclesiam  commendavit. 
Priorem  autem  ejusdem  aecclesiae,  nomine  .ZEfwinum,  et  alios,  quos  voluit,  cepit  : 
et  Cantuariam  claustrali  custoclia  servandos  protinus  transmisit  ;  eos  vero  qui 
forciores,  et  caput  scandali  extiterant,  in  castellum  duci,  ibiquc  in  carcere  custodiri 
praecepit.  Cumque  omnibus  rite  peractis  domum  rediret,  nunciatum  est  ei  mo- 
nachos, qui  exierant,  sub  castro,  secus  ecclesiam  Seas  Miltrudse  consedisse.  Quil>us 
mandavit,  ut,  si  vellent,  ante  horam  nonam,  ad  aecclesiam  impune  redirent ;  set  si 
illam  prajterirent,  non  jam  libere,  sed  ut  fugitivi  revenirent.  Hoc  audito,  in 
ambiguo  habebant  redire,  vel  remanere.  Hora  autem  refectionis,  cum  esurirent, 
plures  ex  eis,  poenitentes  suob  pertinaciaa,  ad  Lanfrancum  miserunt,  et  ei  omnem 
c-ba^dientiam  promiscrunt.  Quibus  continuo  pepercit,  mandans  ut  redirent,  et 
professionem  suam  pra3fato  abbati  se  servaturos  sacramento  confirmarent.  Itaque 
redierunt,  et  se  deinceps  fore  fi deles,  et  obaedientes  Widoni  abbati,  super  corpus 
beat!  Augustini,  juraverunt.  Qui  vero  remanserant  cepit  Lanfrancus,  et  per 
recclesias  Anglian  clivisit ;  constrinxit,  donee  eos  obedientiam  profiteri  coegit. 
Circa  idem  tempus  .yEluredum,  unum  ex  illis,  vagantem  fugiendo  cepit,  et  Can- 
tuarie,  in  scde  metropoli,  cum  quibusdam  sociis  illius,  qui  abbati  malum  moliti 
sunt,  ferro  compeditos,  multis  diebus  rigorem  ordinis  in  claustro  discere  fecit :  sed 
postquam  sufiicienter  liumiliati  sunt,  ut  estimatum  est,  et  emendationem  promise- 
runt,  misertus  eorum  Lanfrancus,  dc  singulis  locis,  quo  eos  disperserat,  prcecepit 
reduci,  et  suo  abbati  reconciliari. 

Eodem  anno,  dissensione  reiterata,  pernitiem  abbati  clam  machinati  sunt ;  et 
dum  unus  ex  eis,  nomine  Columbanus,  deprehensus  fuisset,  jussit  eum  Lanfrancus 
sibi  adduci.  Cumque  coram  eo  astaret,  interrogavit,  si  abbatem  voluisset  perimere. 
Qui  confestim,  Si,  inquit,  potuissem,  pro  certo  eum  interfecissem.  Precepit  itaque 
Lanfrancus,  ut  ante  portas  beati  Augustini,  spectante  populo,  ligaretur  nudua 
flagellis  afficeretur,  deinde,  prasciso  capitio,  ab  urbe  pelleretur.  Factum  est  ut 
imperavit ;  et  ex  hoc,  inquietudinem  caetcrorum,  donee  vixit,  sua  formidine 
quassavit. 

Nono  decimo  anno,  defunctus  est  Lanfrancus,  vcr.erabilis  archiepiscopus,  et 
sepultus  est  in  sede  metropoli  Cantuarie  ;  qui  in  sede  pontificale  sedit  annis  decern 
et  octo,  mensibus  ix.,  duobus  diebus.  De  cujus  actibus,  aidificiis,  elemosinis,  labo- 
ribus,  scriptura,  qua3  in  ejus  anniversario  legitur,  ex  parte  commemorat.  Multa 
enim  erant  valde.  Post  ejus  obitum,  monachi  Sci  Augustini,  prasfato  abbati  suo 
Widoni  palam  resistentes,  cives  CantuariaB  contra  eum  concitaverunt ;  qui  ilium 
armata  manu  in  sua  domo  interimere  temptaverunt.  Cujus  familia  cum  resisteret, 
pluribus   utrinque    vulneratis,   et   quibusdam   interfectis,   vix   abbas  inter  manus

illorum  illesus  evasit,  et  ad  matrem  aecclesiam,  querendo  auxilium,  Cantuariam, 
fugit.  Hujus  facti  fama  citati  suffraganei  ejusdem  aecclesise,  Walkclmus  Wentanus, 
et  Gundulfus  Rofensis,  cpiscopi,  Cantuariam,  cum  quibusdam  nobilibus,  quos 
miserat  rex,  veniimt,  ut  tantae  offensae  vindictam  adhibeant.  Auditis  ergo  ratio- 
nibus  scditionis,  monachi  a  culpa  excusari  non  poterant  ;  quos  coram  populo  subire 
disciplinam,  quia  palam  peccaverant,  ii  qui  advenerant,  decreverunt :  sed  prior, 
et  mouaclii  aecclesiae  Christi,  pietate  moti,  restitcrunt  ;  ne,  si  palam  punirentur, 
infames  deinceps  fierent,  sicque  eorum  vita  ac  servitus  contemneretur.  Igitur 
concessum  est,  ut  in  aecclesia  fieret,  ubi  non  populus,  sed  soli  ad  hoc  electi,  ad- 
mitterentur.  Vocati  sunt  ad  hoc  monachi  ecclesire  Christi,  Wido,  videlicet,  et 
Xonnannus,  qui  disciplinam  ad  episcoporum  imperium  intulerunt.  Dcinde  divisi 
sunt  per  accclesias  Anglias,  et  loco  illorum  xxmi.  monachi  a?cclesia3  Christi  admissi, 
cum  priore,  nomine  Antonio,  qui  sub-prioratus  officio  Cantuarie  fungebatur.  Cives 
vcro,  qui  abbatis  curiam  armata  manu  intraverant,  capti ;  et  qui  se  ab  ejus 
impugnatione  purgare  non  poterant,  oculos  amiserunt.
