had destroyed their cattle, by which they and the poor of Christ were sustained, and had driven them away from the royal pastures and forests ; on which the king made answer, "Arise." Accordingly, all these men arose, and the king himself, by the inspiration of the Divine favour, fell on his face before their feet, asking pardon, and said to them, " My protection I do give and do grant to you, that you may feed your cattle in my pastures and forests, in the manner in which the said privilege is known to have been granted to you by my predecessors the kings of England ; in addition to which, look out for some suitable place in my kingdom for you to found an abbey of your order, and I will build it for the good of my soul and those of my parents, and for the establishment of my kingdom, and there, God willing, will I be buried."
