there as well,[6] apparently in the hope of increasing the income from his poor see.[7] The king revoked this position after three days, however, when the monks and Earl Harold objected.[6]
Herman then abandoned Ramsbury to the administration of Ealdred and traveled to the continent to become a monk at the
