was hoped would have had breathing time, owing to the valour of this earl, was suddenly clouded by a dark fate. In the mean ' time, while the relics of this tempest were still lasting, Master Edmund, of Abingdon, on the Sunday on which the anthem, " Rejoice, 0 Jérusalem," is chaunted, that is to say, on the second of April, was consecrated archbishop of Canterbury, by Roger, bishop of London, at Canterbury.
