With the exception of the royal vifits above alluded to, and the ftirring events connected with the infurrection of Hubert de Burgh, the hiltory of Flaxley Abbey feems to have been of an uneventful kind. Of the poll'ellions and privileges of the monks, a tolerably full account is given in the notes. Henry II. Confirmed to the monks the grant of the Valley of Caftiard, where the Abbey was founded, -and all the donations of Roger, Earl of Hereford, besides all eafements in the royal Foreft - viz, common of parture, tithes of cheltnuts, a moveable iron forge, and as much wood and timber as they required. The Abbey Cartulary contains a full account of the principal private gifts and benefaetions made to Flaxley Abbey until the middle of the i3th century, when the Cartulary was probably written. By Popes Celeftine III. And Alexander III. The Flaxley monks were granted fpecial immunity from tithes.
