Reading edition

As, for example: In 1175, William of Waterville, Abbat of Peterborough, designed to pledge with the Jews the arm of St. Oswald. The monks objecting, the abbat took with him ten armed knights, and forced his way into the cloisters and the church, inflicting mortal wounds on some monks and servants of the monastery who resisted him. For this he was deposed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Chron. Benedict of Peterborough, ed. Stubbs, i. 106.
