All comers were entertained by the convent. The streets ran with wine ; and all the surrounding villages were filled — ' Of bishops and abbots, parsons and priors, Of earls and barons, and of many knights thereto ; Of sergeants and of squires, and of husbandmen enow. And of simple men eke of the land, — so thick thither drew.' 234 THE GEEAT SHEINES The same King Heniy — but then within three years of his death — assisted at the translation of the Confessor's relics to their shrine in the unriva...lled church which he had prepared for them. The cost of such great festivals was enormous ; and we are told that the expenses of Becket's translation were hardly paid off by the fourth successor of Archbishop Stephen Langton. Yet in two remarkable instances the whole cost of a great translation was defrayed by a single prelate. In 1280, Thomas Bek, consecrated on the same day to the bishopric of St. David's, took on himself the entire charge of the translation of St. Hugh of Lincoln to his shrine in the new 'Angel Choir,' in the presence of Edward I.
