Scholarly Info
Description MS CE: In this year Archbishop Eadsige 12 resigned the bishopric because of his infirmity, and consecrated to it as bishop Siweard 7, abbot of Abingdon. He did this with the permission and by the advice of the king and of Earl Godwine 51. Otherwise it was known to few people before it was done, because the archbishop suspected that somebody else would ask for it, or purchase it, whom he less trusted and favoured, if more people knew about it.
