Honorius. 14. Roger Norris. 15. Osbertus. 16. * 1.1
Honorius succeeded Alanus: of whom and of his next Successor Roger Norris, as also of Osbertus, or Osbernus his next Successor, you may reade in that story I last mention∣ed: where it is said that Honorius died at Rome, whither he was sent to oppose Baldwyn in his project for the Colledge at Hackington: And that Roger was made Prior in his stead: * 1.2 by Baldwyn who obtruded him upon the Monks, whereup∣on in their treaty for conditions of peace and composition, one article was, that this Prior should be deposed; And ac∣cordingly he was so, and at the request of the Archbishop promoted to be Abbat of Eusham, and with consent of the King and Covent Osbernus designed and made Prior, who * 1.3 had before taken part with the Archbishop,: but continu∣ed not long in the place; for the Monks not pleased with him, after Baldwins death, removed him again. About this time one William Stephens (or Gulielmus Stephanides) a fa∣mous Monk, lead his life in this Monastery, of whom you may reade a large Encomium in Pitseus.
