Compare 1577 edition: 1 Howbeit, manie writers burthen king William (who was present at this synod) for the procuring of Stigand his depriuation, to the end he might place a stranger in his roome. For as he had rooted out the English Nobilitie, and giuen awaie their lands & li|uings to his Normans; so meant he to turne out the English cleargie from bearing any office of honor within the realme, which meaning of his did well ap|peare at his councell, wherin diuers bishops, abbats, and priors were deposed, and Normans preferred to their places.Agelmarus bishop of Thetford was one that was deposed.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In the feast of Pentecost next insuing, the king being at Windsor,Thomas a canon of Bay|eux made archbishop of Yorke. Lanfranke consecrated archbishop of Canturburie. Matth. Westm. hath the eight Kal. of Maie, but Wil. Mal. and Eadmerus the fourth Kal. of Sep|tember. gaue the archbishoprike of Yorke vnto one Thomas, a canon of Bayeux, and to Wal|kelme one of his chaplins he gaue the bishoprike of Winchester.
