| Summary: | The story of the conflict between Archbishop Winchelsey and the abbot and monks of St Augustine's, Canterbury, was told nearly a hundred years later by William Thome, the monk who wrote a history of the monastery to the year 1397. That history attracted Sir Roger Twysden, the Kentish squire who was a historian and an antiquary and a pioneer in medieval scholarship; he included it in a notable publication, the Historiae Anglicanae Scriptores Decem, printed in 1652. Thorne's narrative was of absorbing interest to William Prynne, the Puritan scholar who became Keeper of the Records in the Tower of London in 1662; he printed extracts from Thorne in his magnum opus, ‘An exact chronological vindication of our king's supreme ecclesiastical jurisdiction over all religious affairs,’ and supplemented them with quotations from the Close Rolls in his charge, a truly laborious search as it appears to the historian of to-day who is aided by the Calendars printed for the Public Record Office. |
