There is a beautiful legend that Lanfranc, thinking the simple old Saxon too rude and ignorant for his office, summoned him to a synod at Westminster, and there called on him to deliver up his pastoral staff and ring. Wulstan rose, and said he had known from the first that he was not worthy of his dignity, and had taken it only at the bidding of his master, King Edward.
His parents were grown old, and having become impoverished, perhaps by the exactions perpetrated either by the Danes, or to bribe them away, retired from the world, and entered convents at Worcester. Wulstan, wishing to devote himself to the Church, sought the service of the Bishop, who ordained him to the priesthood.
Wulstan lived to a great age, survived William and Lanfrane, and assisted to consecrate Anselm.
She was worn out both in mind and body, yet could not bring herself to leave the shrine or to seek her couch. She remembered the example of that reverend and holy man, Bishop Wulstan.
