[1] [2] Besides these, diuerse abbats, & on the 16. of Fe|bruarie died Richard archbishop of Canturburie in the 11. yeare after his first entring into the gouern|ment of that sée. His bodie was buried at Cantur|burie. He was noted to be a man of euill life, and wa|sted the goods of that church inordinatlie. It was re|ported that before his death there appeared to him a vision, which said;

Thou hast wasted the goods of the church, and I shall root thée out of the earth.

Where|vpon he tooke such a feare, that he died within eight daies after. Then Baldwin who before was bishop of Worcester succéeded him, he was the 40. archbi|shop that had ruled the church of Canturburie. The king and bishops procured his election not without much adoo: for the moonks pretending a right there|to, were sore against it. It is reported of him, that after he was made a white moonke, he neuer eat flesh to his liues end. On a time an old woman met him, and asked him if it were true that he neuer eat any maner of flesh;

It is true said he. It is false quoth she, for I had but one cow to find me with, and thy seruants haue taken hir from me. Wherevnto he answered, that if it so were, she should haue as good a cow restored to hir by Gods grace as hir [...]wne was.

The same time also Margaret the wife of the late de|ceased king Henrie the son, returned into France to hir brother king Philip, and was after ioined in mariage with Bela king of Hungarie.
