Section A

Norman England 1087–1107

Study the four sources and answer Question 1.


1 ‘Ranulf Flambard played the key role in William II’s government.’

Use the four sources in their historical context to assess how far they support this view. [30]


Source A: An English chronicler explains how William II governed England.

William was very harsh and severe over his land and very formidable. Through the advice of evil men
and through his own greed, he was ever wearying this nation with an army and with unjust taxes.
God’s Church he humbled and all the bishoprics and abbacies whose holders died in his days, he
either sold or held in his own hands and let for a certain sum. On the day he died, he had in his own
hands the archbishopric of Canterbury, the bishopric of Winchester and that of Salisbury and eleven
abbacies. All that was loathsome to God and righteous men was customary in this land in his reign.

Anglo‑Saxon Chronicle, 1100.


Source B: A chronicler gives an account of the ambitions of Odo of Bayeux.

Odo of Bayeux came to England and received from the king the earldom of Kent. But he saw that
everything in the kingdom was not managed at his own pleasure as formerly, for the administration of
affairs was now committed to William, bishop of Durham [Ranulf’s predecessor]. He was moved with
envy and used to mutter with Roger Montgomery and Roger, earl of Northumberland. Even William,
bishop of Durham, the confidential minister of the king, joined in their treachery. This was a matter of
great concern to William. Odo now carried off booty of every kind to Rochester, plundering the king’s
revenues in Kent and especially the lands of the archbishop.

William of Malmesbury, Chronicle of the Kings of England, written before 1143.


Source C: A chronicler outlines the activities of Ranulf Flambard.
© Simeon, translated J Stevenson, A History of the Kings of England, page 167-8, LLANERCH PRESS LIMITED, 1987. From first line " Ranulf, bishop of Durham, received from the king, first abbeys and then bishoprics, whose holders had died and put them up for sale" to last line " he harassed both great and small an

Source D: A monk at Canterbury gives an account of relations between Ranulf Flambard and
the archbishop of Canterbury.

Thurgod, a monk of Durham was chosen to be bishop of St Andrews, but his consecration was
delayed because Thomas, the prospective archbishop of York, had not yet been consecrated himself.
Accordingly Ranulf, bishop of Durham proposed to consecrate Thurgod at York in the presence of
Thomas. He sent a knight to Anselm with a message reporting what was proposed and begging him
to give it his authority. Anselm wrote in reply that ‘I do not give my authority or permission and more
than that, I positively forbid it to be done before the consecration of the archbishop elect.’

Eadmer, History of Recent Events in England, written before 1126.
