Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Diocesan Histories: Peterborough The Church of Saxulf at Medeshamsted had already numbered some four centuries when Remigius, the first Norman Bishop of the diocese, founded the minster which crowns the heights of Lincoln, and thither transferred his episcopal throne from Dorchester in Oxfordshire. Ours, therefore, is the more ancient Cathedral, though the mother Diocese is the more illustrious. Our earliest annals are neither obscure nor uninteresting. The legend of Wolfade and Rufine, - the characters and work of Saxulf and his royal companions, - the destruction of the church by the Danes, and its restoration by Edgar and Ethelwold, could not well be spared from the history of the Church and Kingdom. And in later times it is remarkable how many events belong, locally or personally, to the Diocese of Peterborough, which claim, from their intrinsic importance, a place in general history. The struggles of Anselm, for instance, with Rufus, and of Becket with Henry II., cannot be told circumstantially without reference to Rockingham and to Northampton.
