[Sidenote: 1120.] But now to returne againe to the two princes.
[Sidenote: _Simon Dun._] [Sidenote: An. Reg. 21.] Not long after the
departure of the pope from Gisors, Foulke earle of Aniou found meanes to
make an agreement betwixt king Henrie & king Lewes, so that king William
sonne to king Henrie did homage vnto king Lewes for the duchie of
Normandie. [Sidenote: The kings of England and France are accorded.
_Wil. Malm._ _Eadmerus._] And further it was accorded betwéene them,
that all those that had borne armour either on the one side or the
other, should be pardoned, whose subiects[11] soeuer they were. In like
maner, Rafe archbishop of Canturburie returned into England, after he
had remained long in Normandie, bicause of the controuersie betwixt him
and Thurstan archbishop of Yorke, as is aforesaid.
[Sidenote: Alexander K. of Scots.] Now shortlie after his returne to
Canturburie, messengers came with letters from Alexander king of
Scotland vnto him, signifieng, that where the sée of S. Andrews was
void, the same king did instantlie require him to send ouer Eadmer a
moonke of Canturburie (of whom he had heard great commendation for his
sufficiencie of vertue and learning) to be seated there. ¶ This Eadmer
is the same which wrote the historie intituled Historia nouorum in
Anglia, out of which (as may appeare) we haue gathered the most part of
our matters concerning Anselme and Rafe archbishops of Canturburie, in
whose daies he liued, [Sidenote: Eadmer Anselmes disciple.] and was
Anselmes disciple.
