Earnwig 1, abbot of Peterborough, relinquished his abbacy while well and strong, and gave it to the monk Leofric 23 with the permission of the king and the monks. And this Abbot Earnwig 1 survived 8 years and the Abbot Leofric 23 so enriched the monastery that it was called the Golden Borough. Then it grew greatly in land and gold and silver. |
