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. Simon Dun. Matt. Paris. Stigand after his depriuation was kept in perpetuall prison at Winchester, till he died, and yet (as some write) the same Stigand was an helper vnder hand for king William to atteine the crowne.
