"Nulla electio praelatorum (sent verba Ingulphi) erat mere libera et canonica; sed omnes dignitates, tam episcoporum quam abbatum, per annulum et baculum regis curia pro sua complacentia conferebat." Penes clericos et monachos fuit electio, sed electum a rege postulabant. ["There was no election of prelates, (says Ingulphus) purely free and canonical; but the king's court granted all dignities at its pleasure, as well of bishops as abbots, by the ring and the staff." The election was in the power of the clergy and monks, but they requested election by the king.] Selden. Tan. Angl. 1. I. §. 39.
