Editorial note — APPENDIX.
Reading edition
This Thurstan was a Saxon Abbot but it may be well to note there were two other “superiors” of religious houses, bearing that name—one Thurstan a Norman of Glastonbury appointed in 1082; this Abbot got into conflict with his monks as he wished to abandon the Gregorian duets—foul deeds followed. Another Norman Thurstan (or Toustain) was Abbot of Pershore in 1085.
