Note 889 — Chapter VIII · THE BISHOP.
Reading edition
William of Malmesbury seems to allude to this point, when he says of St. Eádmund: “Latrunculos, noctu sacram aedem expilare aggressos, invisis loris in ipsis conatibus irretivit; formoso admodum spectaculo, quod praeda praedones tenuit, ut nec coepto desistere, nec inchoata valerent perficere.” Gest. Reg. i. 366, § 213.
