at the same time became Bishop of Hereford, was Eadgyth's chap-
lain, may show that clerks were again being brought from this
quarter, or simply be a part of the Lotharingian traditions of God-
wine's house, as shown by Adelhard and Harold.

[Dr. Stubbs has pointed out to me another foreign chaplain of
Eadward's of whom we find mention elsewhere. "Helinandus, vir
admodum pauperis domus et obscure progenitus, literatur per-
tenuis et persona satis exilis, cum per notitiam Gualteri comitis
Pontisarensis, de cujus comitatu gerebat originem, ad gratiam Ead-
vardi Anglorum. Regis pertigisset (uxor enim sua cum proedicto
comite sibi necessitudinem nescio quam creârat), capellanus ejus
fuit, et quia Francicam elegantiam nôrat, Anglicus ille ad Fran-
corum Regem Henricum eum sæpius destinabat" ( Guibertus de Novigento
"De Vitâ suâ", lib. iii. c, 2, Opera, ed. D'Achery, p. 496).

King Henry made him Bishop of Laon (ibid.) in 1052; he died in
1098 ( Gallia Christiana, vol. ix. col. 524, 525). The second Bishop
of Laon after Helinandus had also been in the service of a king of
England, but this must have been Henry I. ( Guibertus "De Vitâ
suâ", lib. iii. c. 4, ed. D'Achery, p. 299). -- A. S. G.]
