[40] Radulphus Cancellarius. This we supposed, at first, to refer to the great Radulphus or Ralph (FitzStephen), who was responsible for the rebuilding of the Abbey Church after the great fire of 1184; but this would be eighty-three years after the time of Turstin, first Norman Abbot (1082-1101). Malmesbury tells us of the trouble that ensued from the tyrannical methods of Turstin, and the slaughter of the monks by hired soldiers. But the story of Eawulf is new. [41] Eawulf, Yarl of Edgarley. The name was quite unknown to us. Edgarley is about a mile out of Glastonbury on the south-east. There is an ancient chapelry there, dedicated to St. Dunstan. Subsequent reference to the old English Chronicles brought to light the following entry under date A.D. 885: "Eanwulf, Earl of _Somerton_, buried in Glastonbury Abbey." Somerton is about six miles from Glastonbury on the same side as Edgarley--_i.e._, south. This is interesting, as suggesting a family name perpetuated for some six generations, or about 200 years, in the district. [42] Turstin, whose violence caused his dismissal by the King, and exile for a time to Normandy, was succeeded by Herlewin, whose Saxon name receives interesting corroboration by the script. SITTING XXXVII. 23rd September, 1908. _Q. "How is the great difference in date between Radulphus and Eawulf to be explained? We cannot reconcile this."_ _A._ "Wee know not your dates, nor the tymes gone by; but this we know--Eawulf and Radulphus[43] did fight, and the Norman did slay the Saxon. This is fact, as we know it. Be sure of your own tymes and look at Domesday for light. [43] Written "Turstinus." "We remember (Radulphus) was an hundred years and three when he went to hys fathers:--hale and of a good visage even then--but hys bones did grieve him (by reason of) ye payne in them. Soe did he seek ye sunne. More we will serche in the great army of past things. They are soe hard to find! "That wych is hidden will be found out and all ye Abbaye is at your hands; but serche. Alle three churches are open to ye, and one whych was of old time in the midst of the nave of ye newe--not much, for Turstinus did remove ... them when he builded anewe the Norman churche" (_i.e._, built the new Norman church.--F.B.B.). _Q. "Did Eawulf lead the assault in the fight? How did it come about?"_ _A._ "Old men have strong anger, but youth should have spared him. More we know not,--we wil serche." The script here breaks off into the description (already given) of the pilgrims' procession at sunset, with the music of organs and bells. SITTING XLII. 18th April, 1911. The problem of the dates was left for further consideration, and remained in abeyance for two and a half years. At this sitting other matters of early history had been touched upon, and it occurred to F.B.B. to ask a question as to Radulphus and Eawulf.
