These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside A Legend of Reading Abbey: Look inside the book: Our great religious house of Reading (may the hand of sacrilege and the flames of war never more reach it!), founded and endowed by the Beauclerc, had then been newly raised on that smiling, favoured spot of earth which lies on the bank of the Kennet, hard by the juncture of that clear and swift stream with our glorious river Thamesis; and in sooth our noble house was not wholly finished and furnished at this time; for albeit the first church, together with most of its chapels and shrines, was in a manner completed, and our great hall was roofed in, and floored and lined with oak, the lord abbat's apartment, and the lodging of the prior, and the dormitory for the brethren, and the granary and the stables for my lord abbat's horses, were yet unfinished; and, except on Sundays and the feast days of Mother Church, these parts of the abbey were filled by artisans and well-skilled workmen who had been collected from Windsor, Wallingford, Oxenford, Newbury, nay even from the right royal city of Winchester, which abounded with well-skilled masons and builders, and the capital city of London, where all the arts be most cultivated. ... I, who have taken up the pen in mine old age to record upon enduring parchment some of the passages I witnessed in my youth and ripe manhood, would not out of any unseemly vanity perpetuate my name and condition; I would lie, unnamed, among the humblest of this brotherhood who have lived or will live without praise, and have died or will die without blame; but as the world in after-time may wish to know who it was that told the story I have now in hand, and what were my opportunities of knowing the truth, it may be incumbent on me to say so much as this:—John Fitz-John of Sunning was my secular name and my designation in the world of pomps and vanities; my mother was of the Saxon, my father of the Norman race; my mother (I say a requiem for her daily) descended from a great Saxon earl, or, as some do say, prince; and my father's grandfather, who fought at the battle of Hastings, was cup-bearer to William the Conqueror, in sort that if I could be puffed up with mundane greatness I have the wherewithal: my name in religion is Felix, of the order of St.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Legend of Reading Abbey There are thus two aspects of this reign, which it is necessary to bring before the reader, the local aspect at Reading and the national aspect. I think it will serve the purpose the better if I first of all deal with the national events. The most important, as it is the most obvious, fact to bear in mind in considering this reign is that the King, Stephen of Blois, was not king by hereditary right. Both his immediate predecessors had seized the crown to which their elder brother Robert should have succeeded if hereditary right had prevailed, but, in these cases a strong brother had replaced a weak one. Hereditary right of the eldest was clearly not sufficiently established as a result of the Norman conquest to secure succession to the crown whatever might be the circumstances. At later dates, other kings, John, Henry IV, Richard III, Henry VII, William III, George I, were not kings by hereditary right, but in these cases there was some special reason, the personal villainy of the usurping monarchs in causing the death of the rightful sovereign, the political conditions, or the popular demands, which brought about the position. With King Stephen it was not an act of personal villainy, it was not political conditions or popular demands which settled that he was to reign over the newly formed English kingdom for nineteen years. He was the grandson of William the Conqueror, but grand son through his mother Adeliza, daughter Of the Conqueror, and not even the eldest grandson of this branch, for his elder brother Theobald lived and was worthy. Matilda, the daughter of the late king, Henry Beauclerk, claimed the throne as hereditary heir, and by the oaths of the barons, among whom was Stephen, Count of Blois, taken before her father's death. Thus if his two uncles, William Rufus and Henry Beauclerk, had set aside the principle Of hereditary right as between brothers of one family, Stephen set it aside still more violently - in truth the Obstacles to his claim as hereditary heir were overwhelming and yet he not only claimed but obtained the crown and kept it during his life, though after severe struggles. What then were King Stephen's claims and how were they enforced? This question IS a large one, but it is worth a little attention.
