Excerpt from The Complete Works in Verse and Prose of Samuel Daniel, Vol. 5 of 5: Edited, With Memorial-Introduction and a Glossarial Index Embracing Notes and Illustrations The slaughter of the Iewes at the Coronation. - During this stay and setling of his Affayres in France, Queene Elioner his Mother, freed from her imprisonment (which shee had endured twelue yeares) had power to dispose of the businesses of England, which especially shee imployed in preparing the affections of the people by Pardons, and relieuement of oppressions, and then meetes her Sonne at Winchester. Where (besides his Fathers Treasure, which was 900000. pounds in gold and siluer; besides Plate, Iewels and pretious stones) there fell vnto him by the death of Geffery Ridle Bishop of Eley dying intestate, 2060. Markes of siluer, and 205. gold, which came well to defray the charge of his Coronation, Celebrated the third day of September, 1189. at Westminster, and imbrued with the miserable slaughter of the Iewes inhabiting in, and about the City of London, who comming to offer their presents, as an afflicted people, in a strange Country, to a new King in hope to get his fauour; were set vpon by the multitude, and many lost both their liues and substance. The example of London wrought the like mischiefe vppon the Iewes in the Townes of Norwich, Saint Edmondsbury, Lincolne, Stamford and Linne. All this great Treasure left to this King, was not thought sufficient for this intended action of the Holy Warre (which was still on foote) but that all other wayes were deuised to rayse more money; and the King sells much Land of the Crowne, both to the Clergy and other. Godfrey de Lucie Bishop of Winchester bought two Mannors Weregraue and Menes. The Abbot of Saint Edmonsbury, the Mannor of Mildhall for one thousand Markes of siluer. The Bishop of Duresme the Mannor of Sadborough with the dignity Palatinate of his whole Prouiuce, which occasioned the King iestingly to say, what a cunning worke-man hee was that Could make of an old Bishop a new Earle.
