Anno mocolxxoio O scelus nephandum, O nephas

beate memorie Thomas Cant’

and killed certain top-ranking men. And the bishop-elect of Cologne, the
chief of the whole schism, was killed in the Alps; and he was boiled in water so that
the bones would be separated from the flesh and the lot carried to Cologne. For
top-ranking men wished at least to have the relics of their bishop-elect, although not a
bishop; as much as they were worthy of honour to them, they were equally to us as much
without honour, and of false reputation.
In the 1168th year Gilbert of pious memory, abbot of Cîteaux, died; Alexander, 10th abbot, succeeded him. Guido the schismatic, and second
antipope, died, and a certain person was raised up as third antipope, whose name is not
known, and who, not knowing, is to be unknown. Robert the just, earl of Leicester, died,
who is also called the high justiciar.
In the 1169th year Gregoir, bishop of Dunkeld, died;
\Richard,
the king’s chaplain, succeeded him./ ¶A vile and execrable
conspiracy by almost all England, on the king’s orders, was made against the lord pope,
Alexander, and the venerable archbishop, Thomas, in exile in France. ¶Humbald, prior of
Wenlock, brought a convent to Paisley, which is near Renfrew.
In the
1170th
year Henry king of England returned to England from Normandy. Many perished in this return journey in a shipwreck. ¶William, 3rd abbot of Melrose, humbly let go of the pastoral charge, on
22 April, and on that day the prior, Jocelin, succeeded him. William, king of Scots,
came to King H[enry] at Windsor. David, his brother, was made a knight by the king of
England on Sunday, 31 May. ¶Henry king of England caused his
son Henry, a boy, to be crowned as king at London on 22 May, a Sunday. He was
consecrated by Roger archbishop of York—a usurper who, by royal tyranny and his own
tyranny, with the venerable Thomas, archbishop of Canterbury, living in exile in France,
seized for himself authority in another’s province and another’s office, against the
laws of the Church. Suddenly, on 29 June, a huge and savage earthquake, in the east,
beyond the sea of Greece, overwhelmed Tripoli, Jibleh, Latakia, Antioch, and very many
castles, and many cities and castles were overthrown along with their occupants; yet the
land of the heathens was much more pitifully destroyed, along with an innumerable
quantity of them. ¶Richard, King William’s chaplain, was consecrated as bishop of
Dunkeld, on 9 August, by Richard bishop of St Andrews in the cathedral church of St
Andrew. ¶The venerable Godric, hermit of Finchale near Durham, died. ¶Richard earl of
Pembroke, son of Earl Gilbert Strongbow—son also of Isabel, the aunt of Máel Coluim and
William, kings of Scots, and of Earl David of good hope—, came to Ireland, crossing the
sea with many knights and a multitude of worthy men, relying on the help of a certain
subking of that land whose daughter he had joined to himself in marriage; and he,
fighting manfully, at length took certain cities, by the providence of God, including
the most noble of that land—that is, Dublin. ¶Owain subking of Wales died. ¶The
venerable Thomas, archbishop of Canterbury, now made legate by Pope Alexander around 30
November, returned from exile to England with the king’s permission. ¶Pope Alexander
suspended Roger, archbishop of York, from all episcopal office, and Bishops Hugh and
Gilbert of Durham and London, and all the others who took part in the uncanonical
coronation of Henry, the king’s son.
In the 1171st
year—oh abominable evil, oh execrable crime, oh detestable disgrace, oh sin unheard of
in all former ages—Thomas of blessed memory, archbishop of Canterbury, legate of the
apostolic see, primate of all England, now striving for six years and more
