Bury Saint Edmunds, or Saint Edmundsbury.

This Town seemeth (saith Camden) to haue been of famous memory, con∣sidering that▪ when Christian Religion began to spring vp in this tract, king Sigebert here founded a Church,* 1.1 and it was called Villam Regiam, that is, a royall towne. But after that the people had translated hither the body of Edmund, that most christian King, whom the Danes with exquisite tor∣ments had put to death, and built in honour of him, a very great Church, wrought with a wonderfull frame of timber: it began to be called Edmun∣di Burgus, commonly Saint Edmundsbury, and more shortly, Bury. But es∣pecially since that King Canutus, for to expiate the sacrilegious impietie of his Father Suenus against this Church, being often affrighted with a visi∣on of the seeming-ghost of Saint Edmund,* 1.2 built it againe of a new worke, enriched it, offered his owne Crowne vnto the holy Martyr, brought vnto it, Monkes with their Abbot, and gaue vnto it many faire and large Man∣nors, and among other things, the Towne it selfe full and whole: ouer which, the Monkes themselues by their Seneschall had rule and iurisdi∣ction. Thus Knuts Charter began.

In nomine Poliarchie Iesu Christi saluatoris.* 1.3 Ego Knut Rex totius Albio∣nis Insule aliarumque nationum plurimarum, in Cathedra regali promotus, cum concilio & decreto Archiepiscoporum, Episcoporum, Abbatum, Comitum, aliorumque omnium fidelium meorum, elegisanciendum & perpeti stabilimen∣to ab omnibus confirmandum, vt Monasterium quod* 1.4 Budrices Yurthe nun∣cupatur sit per omne euum Monachorum gregibus deputatum ad inhabitan∣dum, &c.

After a long recitall of his many donations, corroborations, priuiledges, and confirmations of former grants, he ends with an Additament, of fish and fishing.

Huic libertati concedo additamentum, scilicet maritimos pisces qui mihi contingere debent annualiter per Thelonei lucrum, et Piscationem quam Vlskitel habuit in Pilla. et omnia iura, &c.

These gifts, to this Abbey, as to the most of all others, were finally con∣cluded with a fearefull curse to the infringers thereof, and a blessing to all such that did any way better her ample endowments: the Charter is signed with the marke, which is the crosse, and the consent of thirty and fiue wit∣nesses, of which a few, as followeth.

• ✚ Ego Knut Rex, &c. hoc priuilegium iussi componere, & compositum cum signo Dominice crucis confirmando impressi.
• ✚ Ego Aelgifa Regina omni alacritate mentis hoc confirmaui.
• ✚ Ego Wuls••anus Archiepiscopus consensi.
• ✚ Ego Adelnodus confirma••i &c.

* 1.5After Knut, one Haruey, the Sacrist comming of the Norman bloud, compassed the Burgh round about with a wall, whereof there remaine still some few reliques, and Abbot Newport walled the Abbey. The Bishop of Rome endowed it with very great immunities, and among other things granted, That the said place should be subiect to no Bishop in any matter, and in matters lawfull to depend vpon the pleasure and direction of the Archbishop, which is yet obserued at this day.

And now by this time the Monkes abounding in wealth, erected a new Church, of a sumptuous and stately building, enlarging it euery day more then other with new workes, and whiles they laid the Foundation of a new Chappell, in the raigne of Edward the first, There were found (as E∣uersden a Monke of this place writeth) the walles of a certaine old Church,* 1.6 built round, so, as that the Altar stood (as it were) in the mids, and we veri∣ly thinke, saith he, it was that which was first built to Saint seruice.

But what manner of towne this was, and how great the Abbey was while it stood,* 1.7 heare Leland speake, who saw it standing. The Sunne, saith he, hath not seene either a Citie more finely seated, (so delicately standeth it vpon the easie ascent, or hanging of an hill, and a little riuer runneth downe on the East side thereof) or a goodlier Abbey; whether a man indif∣ferently consider, either the endowment with reuenues, or the largenesse, or the incomparable magnificence thereof. A man that saw the Abbey would say verily it were a Citie: so many gates there are in it, and some of brasse, so many Towers, & a most stately Church: vpon which, attend * 1.8 three others also standing gloriously in one and the same Church yard; all of pas∣sing fine and curious workmanship.

If you demand how great the wealth of this Abbey was, a man could hard∣ly tell, & namely how many gifts and oblations were hung vpon the tombe alone of Saint Edmund: and besides, there came in, out of lands and reue∣nue••, a thousand, fiue hundred and threescore pounds of old rent by the yeare.

The Abbot and Couent of the Monasterie, gouerned the Townesmen and all within Banna Leuca, within the bounds of a mile from the towne, by their Steward, who euer gaue the oath to the new elect Alderman: which was deliuered in these words following: copied out of a Lieger booke sometimes belonging to the said Abbey.

* 1.9Ye schall swere that ye schall bere yow trewly and fethfully in the Office of the Aldermanscipe of this Town of Bury; ayens the Abbot and the Couent of this place, and all her mynistris: ye scall

bere, kepe and maintaine Pees to yowre powere, and ye schall nor thyng appropre, nor accroche that longyth to the said Abbot and Couent▪ nor take vpon the thyngis that long on to the Office of the Baylishchipp of the seyd Town. Alsoo that ye schall not pro∣cure be yow, nor be noon othir, priuyly, nor openly ony thyng vn∣lawfull, that myght be harme or damage onto the seyd Abbot and Couent, nor suffre to be don, but that ye schall be redy to meyn∣teyn and defende them and here mynystris yn all the ryghtis and customs that of dew long on to them, inasmoche as ye mey leyful∣ly do. Thees artycles and poyntis ye schall obserue and kepe the tym that ye stand in this office. So help yow God, and all hys Seynts, and be this Boke.

Notwithstanding this oath,* 1.10 the Townesmen, now and then, fell so foule vpon the Abbot and Couent, that they imprisoned the Abbot, strucke the Monkes with the Bailiffes and Officers belonging to the Abbey, assaul∣ted the Abbey gates, set fire on them, and burned them with diuers houses neere adioyning, that belonged to the Monasterie. They burnt a Mannor of the Abbots, called Holdernesse Barne; with two other Mannors, called the Almoners barne, and Haberdone, also the Granges that stood with∣out the South-gate, and the Mannor of Westlie, in which places they burnt in corne and graine, to the value of a thousand pounds. They entred into the Abbey court, and burnt all the houses on the north side; as Stables, Brewhouses, Garners, and other such necessary houses: They burned the Mote hall, and Bradford hall, with the new hall, and diuers Chambers and Sollers to the same halls annexed, with the Chappell of Saint Laurence, at the end of the Hospitall hall; also the Mannor of Eldhall, the Mannor of Horninger, with all the corne and graine within and about the same.

Assembling themselues together in warlike order and aray, they assaul∣ted the said Abbey, brake downe the gates, windowes, and dores, entred the house by force, and assailing certaine Monkes and seruants that belon∣ged to the Abbot, did beat, wound, and euill intreat them; brake open a number of chests, coffers, and forssets, tooke out Chalices of gold and sil∣uer, bookes, vestments, and other ornaments of the Church, beside a great quantity of rich plate, and other furniture of household apparell, armour, and other things, beside fiue hundred pounds in ready coyne, and also three thousand Florens of gold. All these things they tooke and carried away, together with diuers Charters, Writings, and Miniments; as three Char∣ters of King Knute, foure Charters of King Hardicanute, one Charter of King Edward the Confessor, two Charters of King Henry the first, and o∣ther two Charters of King Henry the third; which Charters concerned as well the Foundation of the same Abbey, as the grants and confirmati∣ons of the possessions and liberties thereunto belonging.

Many more are the outrages committed at seuerall times by the Townes∣men, against these cloistered brethren; which are recorded in the foresaid Lieger booke of S. Edmunds bury: all which to relate, would seeme incre∣dible, and make this my digression, I confesse, too much ouerlong and trou∣blesome, thus then to returne.

The Dedication, the Foundation, the time, and the Founders, and the

value of this Religious structure may be partly gathered by the premisses; it was replenished with Monkes Benedictines, or as some say, Cluniacks: it was surrendred into the Kings hands the fourth of Nouember, in the one and thirtith yeare of Henry the eight.

* 1.11Amongst other Reliques, the Monkes of this Church had Saint Ed∣munds shirt; certaine drops of Saint Stephens bloud which sprung from him at such time as he was stoned, and some of the coles with which Saint Laurence was broiled.

They had certaine parings of the flesh of diuers holy Virgins, and a si∣new of Saint Edmund laid vp in boxes.

They had some Skuls of ancient Saints and Martyrs, amongst which was one of Saint Petronill, or Pernell, which the country people were taught to lay to their heads, thereby to be cured of all kinde of agues. They had the bootes of Saint Thomas of Canterbury, and the sword of Saint Ed∣mund.

* 1.12It was in vse here amongst the Monkes, as often as they desired raine, to carry with them, in their Processions, a coffin wherein the bones of Saint Botolph were inclosed, hoping thereby the sooner to haue pleasant shoures to refresh the drie parched earth.

They had certaine waxe candles, which euer and onely they vsed to light in wheat-seeding; these they likewise carried about their wheat grounds, beleeuing verily that hereby neither Darnell, Tares, nor any o∣ther noisome weedes would grow that yeere amongst the good corne.

These Reliques they had, and many more, which wrought many strange effects, by their owne relation. The Abbots of this house were Barons of the Parliament.

But now to come to the burials of certaine worthy personages in this Ab∣bey Church of Bury, and first.

* 1.13Here lay sometimes enshrined, the sacred Remaines of Edmund, King of the East Angles, and Martyr; who was the sonne of one Alkmund, a Prince of great power in these parts. In the raigne of this King Edmund, Hungar, & Hubba, two Danish Captaines, with an innumerable multitude of Heathen Danes, entred the Land at the mouth of Humber, and from thence inuaded Nottingham, Yorke and Northumberland, where (with∣out respect of age or sexe) they laid all wast,* 1.14 and left the Land, whence they departed, like to a desolate wildernesse. From thence they came with the like furie into Edmunds territories, and sacked Thetford, a frequent citie in those daies: but hee not able to withstand their violence, fled into ••his Castle at Framingham, wherein he was of them besieged, and lastly taken in a village, then called * 1.15 Heglisdune, of a wood bearing the same name, or rather yeelded himselfe to their torments, to saue more christian bloud; for it is recorded, that because of his most constant Faith and profession, those Pagans first beat him with bats, then scourged him with whips, he still cal∣ling vpon the name of Iesus: for rage whereof, they bound to a stake, and with their arrowes shot him to death; and cutting off his head, con∣temptuously threw it into a bush, after he had raigned ouer the East An∣gles the space of sixteene yeares.

Camden, out of Abbo Floriacensis, saith, that the bloudy Danes hauing

bound this most christian King to a tree, for that he would not renounce christianity, shot him with sharpe arrowes all his body ouer, augmenting the paines of his torment, with continuall piercing him with arrow after arrow, and thus inflicted wound vpon wound, so long as one arrow could stand by another, as a Poet of midle time versified of him:

I am loca vulneribus desunt, nec dum furiofis Tela, sed hyberna grandine plura volant.

Though now no place was left for wound, yet arrowes did not faile, These surious wretches, still they flie thicker then winter haile.

His body and head, after the Danes were departed, were buried at the same royall Towne, as Abbo termes it, where Sigebert the East Anglean King, and one of his predecessors at his establishing of Christianity, built a Church, and where afterwards (in honour of him) was built another most spatious, and of a wonderfull frame of Timber, and the name of the Towne vpon that occasion of his buriall, called vnto this day, Saint Edmundsbury: This Church and place, (to speake more fully to that which I haue written before) Suenus the Pagan Danish King, in impiety and fury, burned to ashes. But when his sonne Canute, or Knute, had made conquest of this Land, and gotten possession of the English Crowne, terrified and a∣frighted (as saith the Legend) with a vision of the seeming Saint Edmund, in a religious deuotion to expiate his Fathers sacriledge, built it anew most sumptuously, enriched this place with Charters and Gifts, and offered his owne Crowne vpon the Martyrs Tombe; of whom for a conclusion, take these verses following.

Vtque cruore suo Gallos Dionisius ornat* 1.16 Grecos Demetrius; gloria quisque sui••: Sic nos Edmundus nulli virtute secundus; Lux patet & patrie gloria magna sue. Sceptra manum, Diadema capud, sua purpura corpus, Ornat ei sed plus vincula, mucro, cruor.

The 20. day of Nouember,* 1.17 in our Calender, was kept holy in remem∣brance of this King and Martyr. Puer Robertus apud Sanctum Edmundum a Iudeis fuit Martirazatus, 4. Id. Iunij An. 1179. et illic sepultus.

Alanus Comes Britannie obijt An. 1093. & his iacet ad hostium australe Sancti Edmundi:* 1.18 ex eod, lib. de chateris.

This Allan here buried (or as some will haue it in the monastery of Rhe∣don) sirnamed the Red, or Fergaunt, was the sonne of Eudo, Earle of Bri∣taine, and entred England with William the Conquerour (his Father in Law.) To whom the said Conquerour gaue the honour and County of Ed∣wyn, within the County and Prouince of Yorke, by his Charter in these words: I William, (sirnamed Bastard, King of England) giue and grant to thee my Nephew Allan, Earle of Britaine, and to thy heyres for euer, all those Villages, Townes, and Lands which were late in possession of Earle

Edwin in Yorkeshire, with knights fees, Churches, and other liberties and customes, as freely and honourably as the said Edwyn held them. Giuen at the siege before Yorke. Alban being a man of an high spirit, and desirous to gouerne the Prouince entirely which he had receiued,* 1.19 built a strong Ca∣stle by Gillingham (a village which he possessed) by which he might de∣fend himselfe, not onely against the English, who were spoiled of their goods and lands, but also against the fury and inuasions of the Danes. When the worke was finished, he gaue it the name of Richmond, of pur∣pose, either for the greatnesse and magnificence of the place, or for some Castle in little Britaine of the same name.

* 1.20Here sometimes, vnder a goodly Monument in the Quire of this Abbey Church, lay interred the body of Thomas, surnamed of Brotherton, the place of his birth, the fifth sonne of Edward the first, after the Conquest, king of England, by Margaret his second wife, the eldest daughter of Phi∣lip king of France, surnamed the Hardy.

* 1.21He was created Earle of Norfolke, and made Earle Marshall of England, by his halfe brother King Edward the second, which Earledomes Roger Bigod (the last of that surname Earle of Norfolke, and Earle Marshall) lea∣uing no issue, left to the disposition of the king his Father. This Earle died in the yeare of our redemption 1338.

Here lay buried the body of Thomas Beauford (sonne of Iohn of Gaunt, begotten of the Lady Katherine Swyneford his third wife) who by King Henry the fourth was made Admirall,* 1.22 then Captaine of Calis, and after∣wards Lord Chancellour of England. He was created by the said King Earle of Perch in Normandy, and Earle of Dorlet in England. And lastly in the fourth yeare of King Henry the fifth, he was created Duke of Exce∣ter, and made knight of the order of the Garter. He had the leading of the Rereward at the battell of Agincourt, and the gouernment of king Henry the sixth, appointed to that office by the foresaid Henry the fifth on his death-bed. He valiantly defended Harflew in Normandy (whereof he was gouernour) against the Frenchmen, and in a pitched field encountring the Earle of Armiguar put him to flight. He died at his House of East Green∣wich in Kent, vpon Newyeares day the fifth of Henry the sixth: for whom all England mourned, saith Milles:

* 1.23The body of Mary Queene of France, widow of Lewis the twelfth: daugh••er of King Henry the 7. and sister to king Henry the eight, was here in this Abbey Church entombed. After the death of Lewis (with whom she liued not long) shee married that Martiall and pompous Gentleman, Charles Brandon Duke of Suffolke. She died on Midsomer Eeue, 1533.

* 1.24Iohn Boon, Abbot of this Monasterie, had his tombe and interrement here in this Church; who died in the beginning of February, in the ninth yeare of the raigne of king Edward the fourth, as appeares by the said kings Conged'eslire or permission royall to the Prior and Couent of this House to make choise of another Abbot, as followeth.

* 2.1Edwardus Dei gratia Rex Anglie, Francie, & Dominus Hibernie, dile∣ct is sibi in Christo Priori & Conuentui Monasterij de Bury Sancti Edmundi, Salutem. Ex parte vestra nobis est humiliter supplicatum vt cum Monaste∣rium vestrum predict. per mortem bone memorie Iohannis Boon nuper Ab∣batis

Now heare a word or two of the word Conged'eslire out of the Inter∣preter.* 2.2

Conged'eslire,* 2.3 id est, venia eligendi, leaue to chuse: is a meere French word, and signifieth in our Common Law, the Kings permission royall to a Deane and Chapter in time of vacation to chuse a Bishop; or to an Ab∣bey or Priorie to chuse their Abbot or Prior. Fitz. nat. br. fol. 169. B. 170. B C, &c. Touching this matter M. Gwin in the Preface to his Readings saith, That the king of England, as Soueraigne Patron of all Archbishop∣rickes, Bishoprickes, and other Ecclesiasticall Benefices, had of ancient time free appointment of all Ecclesiasticall Dignities, whensoeuer they chanced to be voide, inuesting them per Baculum et Annulum, id est, with a Staffe and a Ring, and afterward by his Letters Patents: And that in pro∣cesse of time he made the election ouer to others, vnder certaine formes and conditions: as namely, that they should at euery vacation, before they chuse, demand of the king Gonged'eslire, that is, licence and leaue to proceed to election; and then after the election, to craue his royall assent, &c. And further, he affirmeth by good proofe out of Common Law bookes, that king Iohn was the first that granted this, and that it was afterward confir∣med by Westm. pri. cap. which Statute was made Anno 3. Ed. primi. And againe by the Statute Articuli Clerica. 2. which was ordained Anno 25. Ed. 3. Statuto tertio.

Sir William Elmham, Sir William Spencer, Sir William Fresill, qui ob∣ijt Anno 1357. William Lee Esquire, and his wife, daughter of Harlestone; lay here interred.

The famous Poet, and the most learned Monke of this monasterie, was here interred. I meane Iohn Lidgate, so called of a small village not farre off where he was borne.* 2.4 A village (saith Camden) though small, yet in this re∣spect, not to be passed ouer in silence, because it brought into the world, Iohn Lidgate the Monke, whose wit may seeme to haue beene framed and shapen by the very muses themselues: so brightly reshine in his English verses, all the pleasant graces and elegancie of speech, according to that age, hauing trauelled through France and Italy, to learne the languages and Arts. Erat autem non solum elegans Poeta, et Rhetor disertus, verum etiam Mathematicus expertus, Philosophus acutus, et Theologus non contemnen∣dus: For he was not onely an elegant Poet, and an eloquent Rhetorician, but also an expert Mathematician, an acute Philosopher, and no meane Diuine, saith Pitseus; you may know further of him in his Prologue to

the storie of Thebes; a Tale, as his fiction is) which (or some other) hee was constrained to tell, at the command of mine Host of the Tabard in Southwarke, whom he found in Canterbury, with the rest of the Pilgrims which went to visite Saint Thomas Shrine.

This story was first written in Latine by Geffrey Chaucer, and translated by Lidgate into English verse: but of the Prologue, of his owne making, so much as concernes himselfe, thus.

....... while that the pilgrimes ley At Canterbury, well lodged one and all * 2.5I not in sooth what I may it call, Hap or Fortune, in conclusioun, That me befell to enter into the toun. The holy Sainct plainely to visite, After my sicknesse, vowes to acquite. In a cope of blacke, and not of greene, On a Palfrey slender, long, and lene, With rusty bridle, made not for the sale, My man to forne with a voyd male, That by Fortune tooke mine Inne anone Where the Pilgrimes were lodged euerichone. The same time her gouernour the host Stonding in Hall, full of wind and bost, Liche to a man wonder sterne and fers, Which spake to me, and saied anon dan Pers, Dan Dominicke dan Godfray, or Clement Ye be welcome newly into Kent: Thogh your bridle haue nother boos ne bell; Beseeching you that ye will tell First of your name, and what cuntre Without more shortly that ye be, That looke so pale, all deuoid of bloud, Vpon your head a wonder thredbare hood, Well arrayed for to ride late: I answered my name was Lidgate, Monke of Bury, me fifty yeare of age, Come to this toune to do my pilgrimage As I haue * 2.6 hight, I haue thereof no shame: Dan Iohn (qd he) well brouke ye your name, Thogh ye be sole, beeth right glad and light, Praying you to soupe with vs this night; And ye shall haue made at your deuis, A great pudding, or a round hagis A franche * 2.7 moile, a tanse, or a * 2.8 froise, To been a Monke slender is your * 2.9 coise Ye haue beene sicke I dare mine head assure, Or let feed in a faint pasture: Lift vp your head, be glad, take no sorrow,

And ye should home ride with vs to morrow I say, when ye rested haue your fill. After supper, sleepe will doen none ill, Wrap well your head, clothes round about, Strong * 2.10 nottie ale will make a man to rout, Take a pillow that ye lye not low, If need be, spare not to blow, To hold wind by mine opinion, Will engender colles passion, And make men to greuen on her * 2.11 rops When they haue filled her mawes and her crops. But toward night, eat some Fennell rede, Annis, Commin, or Coriander sede, And like as I haue power and might, I charge you, rise not at midnight, Thogh it be so the Moone shine clere, I will my selfe be your * 2.12 Orlogere, To morrow earely when I see my time, For we will forth parcell afore prime. Accompanie * 2.13 parde shall doe you good.

Thus, when the Host had cheared vp Lidgate with these faire promises and wholesome admonitions for his health, hee laies his commands vpon him in these termes following.

What, looke vp Monke, for by Cockes bloud Thou shalt be merry, who so that say nay, For to morrow anone as it is day, And that it ginne in the East to daw, Thou shalt be bound to a new law, At going out of Canterbury toun, And lien aside thy professioun, Thou shalt not chese, nor thy selfe withdraw, If any mirth be found in thy maw, Like the custome of this company, For none so proud that dare me deny, Knight * 2.14 nor Knaue, Chanon, Priest, ne Nonne To tell a tale plainely as they conne, When I assigne, and see time oportune; And for that we our purpose will contune, We will homeward the same custome vse, And thou shalt not plainely thee excuse: Be now well ware, study well to night, But for all that, be thou of heart light, Thy wit shall be the sharper and the bet.

But I runne too farre with these rimes, it is time to returne.

Scripsit partim Anglicè partim Latinè, partim prosa partim versu libros nu∣mero plures, eruditione politissimos. He writ partly English, partly Latine, partly in prose, & partly in verse; many exquisite learned books saith Pitse∣us, which are mentioned by him and Bale, as also in the latter end of Chau∣cers workes the last edition. He flourished in the raigne of Henry the sixt, and departed this world, (aged about threescore yeares) circiter An. 1440. vpon whose tombe this Epitaph following is said to haue beene engrauen.

Mortuus seclo, superis superstes, Hic iacet Lidgat tumulatus vrna: Qui fuit quondam celebru Britanne Fama Poësis.

These and infinite many other worthy personages here, in this Abbey Church entombed, were by King Henry the eight, vtterly ouerthrowne; what time, as at one clap he suppressed all monasteries, perswaded thereto by such as vnder a goodly pretense of reforming Religion, preferred their priuate respects, and their owne enriching, before the honour of Prince and Countrie, yea, and before the glory of God himselfe.
