Excerpt from Polychronicon Ranulphi Higden Monachi Cestrensis, Vol. 8: Together With the English Translations of John Trevisa and of an Unknown Writer of the Fifteenth Century
Higden next notices the tyrannical conduct of William Longchamp, the bishop of Ely, for which at length he became so detested that he was I forced to fly the king dom. Special mention is made of the hindrances caused by the chancellor to the consecration of Geoffrey 2 Planta genet, the king's half brother, to the archbishopric of York, andhow Eleanor the queen and the archbishop3 of Rouen obtained the king's authority, while Richard was in Sicily, to deprive the chancellor or his authority, but too little is said by Higden to give any notion of the importance of the events to which he so briefly alludes.4 The chapter concludes with a short mention of the journey of Richard and the French king to the Holy Land, and some account of the reasons for their quarrel.
