Excerpt from Chronica Jocelini De Brakelonda, De Rebus Gestis Samsonis Abbatis Monasterii Sancti Edmundi
The present Chronicle comprehends the annals of the Monastery of St. Edmund from the year 1173 to 1202. The early pages give a rapid sketch of the state of the Monastery under Abbot Hugh, intended as an Introduc tion to the History of the Government of Samson de Totington, his successor, whose acts are the chief object of the Chronicle. Abbot Hugh died in 1180, and was succeeded by Samson in 1182, after a vacancy of a year and three months.
