Excerpt from The Early History of the Abbey of Abingdon
Among the secondary evidences which relate to early English history, the collected archives of religious houses claim an important place. In the present essay the documents relating to one of these early monasteries and the narratives of its foundation are examined with reference to their bearing upon the general history of England between the seventh and the tenth centuries. The Abingdon series of records is long, and, from the geographical position of the house, of peculiar importance for the period with which this essay deals. It is, for example, only Abingdon documents which demonstrate the annexation of Berkshire to the Mercian kingdom in the first half of the ninth century. The plan of the essay does not include a discussion of the documents and narrative which relate to the history of the abbey under the Anglo-Norman kings; but it is shown that this portion of the text, though only preserved in manuscripts of the thirteenth century, is the work of an author who ceased writing early in the reign of Henry II. It thus becomes contemporary evidence for the history of the Thames valley in the generation after 1100. To this generation, also, must be referred the earliest form of the foundation legend of Abingdon. It is suggested below that this legend, when allowance has been made for the invention of unhistorical detail, may fairly be allowed to illustrate the condition of southern England towards the close of the seventh century, and that an authentic outline of the early history of the house can be recovered from the materials which were compiled by its inmates in the Norman age.
