Reading edition
Will. Malms. Gest. Pont. 154. “Gisonem et Walterum voti compotes reddidit, qui essent non usquequaque contemnendæ scientiæ et nullius notati ignominiâ simoniæ. Aldredum suâpte responsione culpabilem utrobique repertum omni honore severus exspoliavit.” But, in his Life of Wulfstan (Ang. Sac. ii. 250), he says, “Nam nec ille Wigornensi præsulatui renunciare, nec Papa nisi cederet Eboracensi eum pallio insignire volebat.” The Biographer (411) is not very clear, but he seems rather to make the translation the objection; “Perscrutatus ergo qualiter ad sacros accessisset ordines, eo gratuitu confitente inventus est à primo ordinationis suæ Episcopo [episcopatu?] ad alium [aliud MS.] commigrâsse contra canones.”
