thrée daies togither, and in the end bicause the pope had granted the
homages of bishops and other prelats to the king, which his predecessor
Urban had forbidden, togither with the inuestitures; the king was
contented to consent to the popes will in forbearing the same. So that
when Anselme was come, the king in presence of him and a great multitude
of his people, granted and ordeined, that from thenceforth no bishop nor
abbat should be inuested within the realme of England, by the hand
either of the king or any laie man: on the other side it was granted
againe by Anselme, that no person elected into the prelacie, should be
depriued of his consecration for dooing his homage to the king.

These things thus ordred, the churches which through England had bin
long vacant, were prouided of gouernors, which were placed without any
inuestiture of staffe or ring. About this time, Anselme consecrated fiue
bishops at Canturburie in one day, archbishop William to the sée of
Winchester, Roger that was the kings chancellor to Salisburie, William
Warlewast to Excester, Remaline the quéenes chancellor to Hereford, and
one Urban to Glamorgan in Wales.

[Sidenote: _Polydor._ _Ran. Higd._] About this season a great part of
Flanders being drowned by an exundation or breaking in of the sea, a
great number of Flemings came into England, beséeching the king to haue
some void place assigned them, wherein they might inhabit. [Sidenote:
Flemings cōming ouer into England, haue places appointed them to
inhabit.] At the first they were appointed to the countrie lieng on the
east part of the riuer of Twéed: but within foure yeres after, they were
remooued into a corner by the sea side in Wales, called Penbrokeshire,
to the end they might be a defense there to the English against the
vnquiet Welshmen.
