To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

This complaint having been made to a general Chapter of the Cistercian Order, the Chapter sent commis- sioners to make inquiry ; but Robert Burley, the Abbot of Fountains, closed the gates of Meaux Abbey against them, and set men armed with bows and arrows, and other weapons, to oppose their entrance. Burley and Burton, cited to appear before the general Chapter, went to Rome, and procured a bull which not only revoked the authority of the Chapter, but also annulled all the. commissions issued ...by it. A compromise was afterwards made upon arbitration. But the uncompromising Abbot of Fountains, Father Abbot to Meaux, was no party to this. After a little while he paid a paternal visit to Meaux, and denounced the malcontents. Litigation was renewed; the monks accused of rebellion carried their case to Rome. Burton, who had been cutting down the timber of the abbey to pay the expenses of these quarrels, stayed further dispute by yielding up his office, in 1390, when he had held it for three years and five weeks without having enjoyed a months' peace with his convent.
