Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 When bishop Odo was come into those parties to reuenge the bishops death with an armie (as we haue said) he sore afflicted the countrie, by spoiling it on euerie side with great crueltie. Here king Wil|liam placed and displaced diuerse rulers ouer the Northumbers: for first he appointed one Copsi to haue the rule of that countrie, Sim. Dunel. in place of Marchar who before had held the same. This Copsi expelled Osulfe the sonne of earle Edulfe brother to earle Al|dred,Copsi. which Osulfe was substitute vnto the earles Edwine and Marchar, who although he was driuen out of his gouernement by Copsi, yet recouering his forces againe, he slue the same Copsi as he en|tred into the church of Newburne. But within a few moneths after, the same Osulfe (as he ran with his horsse against a theefe) was thrust through the bodie with a speare, which the theefe held in his hand, and so died. Then Gospatrike was assigned by king Wil|liam to haue the gouernement there:Gospatrike. whose mother Aldgitha was daughter to Uthred sometime earle of Northumberland begotten vpon Elfgiua the daugh|ter of king Egelred.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Some write, that Gospatrike purchased the earle|dome of king William, and so held it, till the king tooke it from him againe, and then gaue it vnto earle Walteof or Waldeue. Next after him Walkher the foresaid bishop of Durham had the whole admi|nistration cõmitted to him, but (after he was slaine as yée haue heard) one Alberike ruled that countrie, and lastlie, Robert Mulbray a right noble perso|nage (for his wisedome and valiancie highlie re|nowmed with all men) was created earle of Nor|thumberland,Robert Mul|bray earle of Northumber|land. and gouerned the people of those par|ties in such politike and wise order, that during his time, it is hard to saie, whether his quietnesse or the obedience of the people was greater.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In like manner, after the foresaid Walkher; one William was created bishop of Durham,The founda|tion of vni|uersitie col|ledge in Ox|ford. who was the originall founder of vniuersitie colledge in Ox|ford, and by whose assistance, the moonkes gaping both for riches, ease, and possessions, found the means to displace the secular priests of the colledge of Dur|ham, Anno Reg. 15. 1081 that they might get into their roomes, as they did indeed soone after, Anno Reg. 16. 1082 to their great gaine and aduan|tage. But to returne againe to the course of the hi|storie. Shortlie after the reuenge of the death of Walkher bishop of Durham, the fornamed bishop Odo the kings brother was suspected of some vn|truth and sinister dealing,Odo suspe|cted and ba|nished. whervpon he was sent as a banished man into Normandie, or rather (as other write) committed to prison, where he remained, not as a clerke, but as a baron of the realme; for he was both bishop and earle of Kent.
