FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 135
SYMEON OF DURHAM, HISTORIA REGUM, VOL. II, p. 205. (Con-
tinued from 1109.) 2
But quarrels increasing between him and the king prevented
l and through distress
[Turgot] from carrying this into effect ;
of mind he fell into a melancholy.
And hence he received permission to stay for a while at
Durham, because of his infirmity and on the ; vigil of the
apostles Peter and Paul 2 he came to Wearmouth, where for-
merly
he had received from Aidwin the monk's habit. And
there he celebrated mass in the morning, as well as he could,
and set out for St. 3 Cuthbert and ; taking to his bed there, was
prepared for his decease by fevers, sometimes mild, sometimes
4
violent and this for two months and four ,
days.
And when the hour of his decease arrived, while he was say-
ing, as best he "
could, in prayer, In peace was prepared his
the Lord
place and his habitation in Zion," 5 and " praise ye
in his sanctuary," 6 he expired in the hands of the brethren,
on the second 7 before the Kalends of April, the third day of
the week, at the third hour, after completing the eighth year
of his episcopate, two months and ten days : obtaining from
God the reward which he had diligently asked, that he should
render his soul near the sacred body of Cuthbert. And he was
buried in the chapter-house. His body lies between the body

suffragans throughout Scotland of the metropolis of York, greeting and
apostolic benediction.

have promoted to the metropolis of York our venerable brother Gerard, formerly
bishop of Hereford ; and have by liberality of the apostolic see granted
to him the pallium and the privilege.
And therefore we instruct and com-
mand that you show him henceforth due obedience, as to your archbishop."
