They asked leave to put forth the body of the archbishop; and young Waltheof, who was a pious man, insisted that leave should be given. So the archbishop's coffin was thrust forth of the castle-gate, and the monks from the abbey came and bore it away, and buried it in the Cathedral church. And then the fight went on, day after day, and more and more houses burned, till York was all aflame.

The Archbishop's sister did not enter the parlor, but here took formal farewell of Countess von Sayn, who turned to the sole occupant of the room, her kinsman and counselor, Father Ambrose. "Were you not asked to dine with us?" she inquired. "Yes; but I thought it better to refuse.

The Archbishop's voice broke in again. "Are we to understand, your Grace, that your Grace's clemency is extended to Mr. Ralph Torridon?" "Eh! then," said the King peevishly, "hold your tongue, my Lord. I am trying to remember. Where is Michael?" "Shall I call him, your Grace?" "Nay, then; let the lawyer ring the bell!" Mr.

The parish was a Peculiar, and as such was exempt from the authority of the Archdeacon of Richmond, either by tradition from the days when the church was a monastery, or because of the presence here of the Archbishops.

Paul's Cathedral in London. Wyclif was fearless, and he obeyed the Archbishop's command. But as he walked up the long aisle to the chapel where the bishops were gathered, John of Gaunt marched by his side, and Lord Percy, Earl Marshal of England, cleared a way for him through the throng of people that filled the church.
