Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints Heard that the fleet had been descried, their grim and raging troops mounted on horses, were sweeping like wolves, over moor and hill, through plain and valley, burning town and hamlet, and leaving those who had given them hospitality, murdered on their own hearths. The visitation seemed to be too frightful to resist there was no help for the miserable people in the king and his chiefs on all sides was treachery, cowardice, or hopeless imbecility and weakness; all that the great men found to do, was to plunder also, in order to bribe the Danes meanwhile, as long as they might, they feasted and revelled.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints: St. Aelred, Abbot of Rievaux Saints, because the view which we have of them is in all cases coloured by the reverence of the Christian world, and yet it is by no means falsified. It is history with the perpetual interpretation of Christendom the mind of the Church acting upon facts in the life of one of her children. It may be quite true that in many instances false miracles or actions which may be proved never to have taken place, may have been ascribed to them. All unknown monk in some obscure monastery may have written a life of a Saint, merely putting together all the traditions which remained of him, without caring to separate the true from the false but still the result of the whole may be true and the general aspect in which Christendom views the Saint may be the right one, though some particular stories may be false. How few in many instances are the facts known about some of the Saints in the middle ages. Their parentage is often forgotten, and the history of their early years unknown or perhaps the names of their parents are preserved with the vague and suspi cions addition that they were of very noble birth. Some few great deeds are on record, but the internal struggles which led to them are all forgotten all at once they appear before us as perfect Saints, as if no discipline had been required to form them. We are left to eke out the scanty materials of their lives with what we know must have happened, from the character of the times and from the manners of the age. And yet perhaps we should hardly regret this the picture of a Saint with the aureole round his head and the meek expression of joy on his features, may be unlike what he was in his lifetime, and yet it may be the more like what he is in heaven now. And after all, if we had come close to him, a real living Saint, should we have. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

B. A Life by Bertrand, one of the archbishop's attendant clerks, and faithfully attached to him. He was spoken of by Archbishop Albert as "discipulus quem diligebat pater Edmundus, et secretorum ejus conscius."

The most complete copy of this Life is that printed, from a copy taken of the original once at Pontigny, in Martene and Durand, Thesaurus Anecdotorum, vol. iii. Besides the writer's own means of information, it contains all the particulars furnished by the testimonials which were sent in during the inquiry preceding the canonisation. The writer speaks of himself as relating "the things which he had heard and seen." This Life with considerable variation of language, and with some slight additional facts, is found in three Cotton MSS: Cleop. B. i., Faust. B. i., Jul. D. vi., in a Lambeth MS. (No. 135), in Surius (Nov. 16), in Vincent of Beauvais (Speculum Histor.), in John of Tinmouth (MS. in Lambeth Library), and in a Bodleian MS. (Fell 3).

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the English Saints, Vol. 4 of 6 IT was a sad and dreary time for England when first Norman William mounted the throne which he inherited from the blameless Edward. The nobles were wandering about among the woods and forests of the land, and living like robbers among the impassable marshes of the country; while Edgar, England's darling, was an exile in Scotland.1 Her pleasant homes were turned into military fast nesses, for each man fortified his dwelling; and as he closed door and window at night, the head of the family said Benedicite, and the household responded Dominus, not knowing whether their homestead might not be burned over their heads at night.2 Who can tell the horrors inflicted on those of English blood by Odo, the Bishop of.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the English Saints: St. Gilbert, Prior of Sempringham Diers monasteries were stripped of their lands, and many a Saxon expelled from his possessions to make room for a foreigner. 1 Geoffrey, the mail-clad bishop of Coutances, alone had 280 manors for his share of the spoil.'3 A love of hunting seems to be the darling sin of our Norman monarchs, and to this William sacrificed whole villages, with their churches and in habitants. He had a summary way of increasing his forest-lands no need of planting trees, or waiting for the slow growth of oaks and beeches. There were then many woods in merry England, and he simply swept away the homes of the villagers who dwelt amongst and near them, so that the lands returned to their natural state of wilderness, and the stag couched un disturbed on the hearth of the peasants or in the long fern where once was the altar of the village church. But the greatest blot on William's fair fame is the ter rible depopulation of the north of England. In the depth of winter the Conqueror went forth to his fear ful revenge; he stalked on boldly over mountains covered with snow and frozen rivers the horses dropped down dead with fatigue under his knights, but still be pressed on. The aged archbishop of York died of grief at the approach of these miseries, and the bishop of Durham with the relics of St. Cuthbert fled before him. Behind him was famine and pestilence, and a hundred thousand men are said to have perished. He left not a village standing between York and Durham.3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of the English Saints, Vol. 1 of 6: Written by Various Hands at the Suggestion of John Henry Newman The Lives of the English Saints, published in London by Mr. James Toovey in 1 844 - 4 5 and now reprinted for the first time in their entirety, are justly described as Newman's work in this present edition, although with their actual authorship he had little enough to do. But for him, however, they would never have been written. Not only was he the inspired and inspiring leader of the movement which had made it possible for English Churchmen to deal sympathetically with the lives of mediaeval saints in this particular instance the plan was originally his, and he allotted to each author what seemed his appropriate work. Further than this Newman, as we shall shortly see, did not go and what was done was a mere fragment of what he had proposed; but, none the less, in their genesis these Lives are Newman's; they have always been spoken of as such; and, so long as the limitations of his responsibility for them are made clear, they are rightly described as his.
