FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 143
Canterbury, and had no part in her at all ;
and that he would
never in his life consent that a Scottish bishop should be
subject to the [arch]bishop of Canterbury. And when
[Edmer] replied that not for the whole of Scotland would he
deny that he was a monk of Canterbury, the king's spirit
was disturbed, and he said, " We have done nothing in
seeking for ourselves a bishop from Canterbury."
Overcome therefore thenceforward by rancour of mind
the king began to distress this man in many ways, to harass
him with many wrongs, privately and publicly ; to despoil
him of the rank and revenue of episcopal possessions. He could
not look straight upon him, nor hear with patience his words,
even if they were inspired by God. And this matter could
not be hid from the people. Thus many rumours arose,
embittering the two sides one against the other.
The bishop elect observed this, and considering that his
existence (as we have previously mentioned) under such
circumstances was of no use, sent word to the king by intermediaries
as follows :
" Since I see that thou art not, as were
for my benefit, favourably disposed towards me, and I know
not how it is that I have deserved it ; and since it is certain
that I shall not effect much in thy kingdom under thy dis-
pleasure in the correction of Christians, I ask that thou permit
me to go to Canterbury, attended by thy favour, in order
that I may both ask there counsel as to what I should do and
receive there episcopal benediction, for the honour of God
and the exaltation of the kingdom of Scots."
This was not pleasing to [the king's] mind and ; he asserted
that he would by no means give his assent, protesting that
the kingdom of Scotland owed no subjection to the church
of Canterbury, and that [Edmer] himself had been made
wholly independent of that church when he was given to
him. And when [Edmer] answered him that hitherto he
had not known this, especially as the letter sent for him by
the archbishop to [the king] contained among other things
that [the archbishop] had sent him to Scotland for this purpose,
to learn whether the king's request which he had made
in choosing him was directed toward the honour of God and
of the holy mother, that is to say the church of Canterbury,
not in order that the [archbishop] might resign through him,
his foster-son, the rank held by that church unshaken for
now five hundred years ; the king was very wroth, and
swore that he could not enter into new pleas every day in this
matter.
