the former year, king William gave the diocese of Canterbury in peace to Anselm, whose ordination took place on the fourth of December. The seat of the bishopric is transferred from Thetfordto Norwich. A.D. 1094. On the ninth of April, the seat of his bishopric was removed from Thetford to Norwich by Herebert Loeeng. Alwin, the founder of Bermondsey, died. The before-mentioned Herebert became bishop of Thetford by the purchase of the episcopal dignity, having formerly been abbot of Ramsay. But afterwards he repented, and went to Rome, and restored to the pope the staff and ring which he had acquired by simony. But, by the favourable indulgence of the Apostolic See, he was restored. The same year, king William sent his brother Henry into Normandy with a large sum of money, on purpose to subdue it. The count of Northumberland having become elated at having defeated the king of Scotland, as has been mentioned already, treated the king's court with insult ; and therefore the king marched his army into Northumberland to attack Robert, and took prisoners in Newcastle all the more powerful members of the king's household, and loaded them with chains. The castle of Bamborough was restored to the king, and all the favourers of the count were ill treated ; for William of Anjou was deprived of his eyes, and Odo, count of Champagne, and many others, had their property confiscated. The same year, king William led an army into Wales, because the year before the Welch had slain many of the Normans, and had broken down their strongholds, and the castle of Montgomery, and put all that they found in it to death. Therefore, king Wuham traversed the country of the Welch with a hostile army ; but, finding himself unable to pursue them amid the lurking places of their mountains and their thick woods, established some forts on the borders, and returned to his own country. The same year, stars were seen to fall from heaven. " A monster born of Losing rises up Within the church ; the base Simoniac sect Which tramples on the virtues of the canons. Peter, why slumberest thou ? For Simon seeks Too high preferment in his wicked flight. If thou wert present he would fly less high. Alas, alas ! for money, for base dross, The church is sold. Lo ! here a son is bishop : A father abbot. Simon both at once.
