Now to the purpose again of our matter, which is to declare how the Duke and Nobles of England expulsed the Monks out of the Monasteries after the death of king Edgar. Whereof let us hear what the Monkish story of the Abbey of Crouland recordeth. Monachis de quibusdam Monasterijs eiectis, clerici sunt introducti, qui statim monasteriorum maneria ducibus terrae distribuebant, ut sic in suas parts obligati, eos contra monachos defensarent. Tunc de monasterio Eveshamensi, monachis expulsis, clerici fuerant introducti. Terraeque tyranni de terris Ecclesiae praemiati sunt, quibus Regina novercali nequitia, 1stans cum clericis in regis opprobrium, favebat. Cum monachis autem Rex, & sancti Episcopi persistebant. Sed tyranni fulti Reginae favour & potentia, super monachos triumphabant. Multus inde tumultus in omni angulo Angliae factus est. Ex Chronico Ingulphi Abbatis de Crouland, &c. That is, The Monks being expelled out of certain Monasteries, the Clerks again were brought in, who distributed the Manors or Farms of the said Monasteries, to the Dukes and Lords of the land, that they being obliged to them should defend them against the Monks. And so were the monks of Evesham thrust out and the secular Clerks placed,2 & the lands of the church given to the Lords, with whom the Queen, the Kings stepmother holding the same time, took part also with the said Clerks against the king. On the contrary part stood the king & the holy bishops, taking part with the monks. Howbeit, the lords & piers of the Realm staying upon the favour and power of the Queen, triumphed over the monks, &c.
