Bracey at Fowey and the kalendar of Tavistock, he mentions the capture
and surrender of the Mount by the Earl of Oxford five years before the
time of his writing. A fuller notice occurs towards the end of his work
where, after some further details respecting the Mount’s geographical
position, he gives us the kalendar of the church. The saints
commemorated are, as has been already remarked, with three exceptions
all Celtic. Of one of them, Brokan (Brychan) and his twenty-four
children, he supplies an account taken, as it would seem, from the
Legenda. For in the enumeration the saint is described as Brokannus in
partibus Walliarum _regulus fide et morum_, and in the account of the
saint which follows the opening sentence is Fuit in ultinus (ultimis)
Walliarum partibus vir dignitate _regulus fide et morum_ honestate
praeclarus, nomine Brokannus. A similar explanation may account for the
fourth apparition of St. Michael being described by William as apparicio
in ierarchiis nostrorum angelorum, a phrase which is meaningless as it
stands, but assuming it to be a quotation from the Legenda may have been
familiar and intelligible to William’s readers.
From the foregoing abstracts from the _Itinerary_ two conclusions appear
to be inevitable. In the first place, whether of design or by
inadvertence, the name Mons Tumba which had been exclusively used of the
Norman Mount came to be also applied to the Cornish Mount and, in the
second place, the associations of the former came to be adopted by the
latter. The postscript to the Count of Mortain’s charter and the newly
discovered indulgence mentioned by William, the one an almost verbatim
copy of the other, probably bear witness to a fact, namely, that an
indulgence was actually granted by Pope Gregory, but that it was granted
not to St. Michael’s Mount but to Mont St. Michel. When once the
indulgence had been appropriated by the Cornish house it became
necessary to account for the allusions contained in it. The ecclesia
quae ministerio angelico creditur et comprobatur consecrari et
sanctificari demanded some point d’appui, and this could only be
obtained by increasing the number of apparitions vouchsafed by St.
Michael.
The three apparitions generally accepted by Western Christendom, viz.
the appearance in the fifth century to Garganus, that in the sixth
century to St. Gregory at Rome, and that in the eighth century (A.D.
706) to St. Aubert, bishop of Avranches (probably identical with the
apparicio in ierarchiis nostrorum angelorum), were supplemented by an
appearance (A.D. 710) in Tumba in Cornwall. It is impossible to say when
this claim was formulated, whether before or after the expulsion of the
Benedictines in the fifteenth century. The object was evidently to
stimulate pilgrimages, concerning which, however, very little is
recorded. Norden, writing in 1584, states that the Mount “hath bene
muche resorted unto by Pylgrims in devotion to St. Michaell whose chayre
is fabled to be in the Mount, on the south syde, of verie Daungerous
access.”
When William of Worcester visited the Mount the priory was in possession
of Augustinian nuns known as Bridgettines. Of them William says nothing.
So long as it was Benedictine and under the control of the abbot of Mont
St. Michel, successive Kings of England felt constrained, on the
declaration of war with France, to take it into their own hands and to
administer its preferment. From 1337 onwards the rolls contain numerous
entries dealing with the patronage of alien priories. During his war
with France Henry IV required the prior of St. Michael’s Mount to hold
the priory at farm for a yearly rent of £10. Henry V, having founded the
abbey of Syon in Middlesex, transferred the priory to it, the provost
and scholars of the college of St. Mary and St. Nicholas at Cambridge,
to whom an earlier grant of it seems to have been made, surrendering all
their rights in 1462.
Thenceforth until 1536 it remained a Bridgettine nunnery. After the
suppression of the monasteries several grants were made of it for terms
of years. Eventually Queen Elizabeth sold it to Robert, Earl of
Salisbury, by whose son, the second earl, it was conveyed to Sir Francis
Basset. By his son, John Basset, it was sold in 1659 to Colonel St.
Aubyn. Since that time it has remained in the St. Aubyn family, its
present owner and occupier being General John Townshend St. Aubyn,
second Lord St. Levan.
With its religious history alone are we here concerned. That the Mount
was the home of a Celtic religious community in pre-Norman times hardly
admits of doubt. As we have shown, there was some strong bond of
attachment between it and the Meneage, a bond which, though weakened and
attenuated, was not completely sundered until the dissolution of the
monasteries in the sixteenth century. The main proposition here advanced
is that the Mount was at a remote period, probably as early as the days
of St. Cadoc, the focus of Celtic religious activity for the greater
part, if not for the whole, of the Lizard peninsula.

APPENDIX A
EXTRACT FROM THE “LIFE OF ST. SAMSON”
(Ed. by Fawtier, pp. 143-5)
Quadam autem die, cum per quendam pagum quem Tricurium vocant
deambularet, audivit, ut verum esset, in sinistra parte de eo, homines
baccantum ritu quoddam phanum per imaginariam ludum adorantes; atque
ille annuens fratribus ut starent et silerent dumque quiete, et ipse de
curru ad terram descendens et ad pedes stans, intendensque in his qui
idolum colebant, vidit ante eos in cujusdam vertice montis, simulacrum
abominabile adsistere; in quo monte et ego fui, signumque crucis quod
sanctus Samson sua manu cum quodam ferro in lapide stante sculpsit
adoravi et mea manu palpavi; quod sanctus Samson, ut vidit, festine ad
eos, duos apud se tantum fratres eligens, properavit atque ne idolum,
unum Deum qui creavit omnia, relinquentes, colere deberent, suaviter
commonuit, adstante ante eos eorum comite Guediano; atque excusantibus
illis malum non esse mathematicum eorum parentum in ludo servare, aliis
furentibus, aliis deridentibus, non nullis autem quibus mens erat sanior
ut abiret hortantibus, continuo adest virtus Dei publice ostensa. Nam
puer quidam equos in cursu dirigens a quodam veloci equo ad terram
cecidit collumque ejus subtus se praecipitem plicans, exanimum paene
corpus in jecturam tantum remansit.
Flentibus autem circa illum vicinis suis, sanctus Samson dixit “Videtis
quod simulacrum vestrum non potest huic mortuo adjutorium dare? Si autem
promittitis vos hoc idolum penitus destruere et non amplius adorare ego
illum, Deo in me operante, redivivum resuscitabo.” Adquiescentibus autem
illis, jussit eos paulo longius secedere, atque illo orante super
exanimem per binas ferme horas, illum qui expiratus fuerat redivivum
palam omnibus atque incolumem redidit. Videntibus autem illis, unanimes
omnes una cum supradicto comite, procidentes ad sancti Samsonis pedes,
idolum penitus destruxerunt.
* * * * *
The Reverend F. W. Paul, M.A., whose friendship it has been my privilege
to share for half a century, has revised the translation on page 33. He
has done so under protest. Incompetence, ignorance of monkish Latin and
the corruptness of the text have been his pleas. The first no one will
allow who knows him; the second is by no means uncommon; the third
everyone will admit. L’Abbé Duine truly says of the _Vita Samsonis_ that
_plusieurs constructions grammatical sont absolument barbares_. Mr. Paul
has suggested the following emendations of the passage before us.
Although drastic they appear worthy of consideration, unless they can be
shown to run clean contrary to the habits of thought, the terminology
and the rules of composition observed by writers of the seventh century.
For quoddam phanum he would read _quendam phallum_; for mathematicum,
_matrimonium_; for injecturam, _jecturâ_. We should then have in the
latter part of the first sentence “he saw men worshipping a certain
phallus after the custom of the Bacchantes by means of a lewd play,” and
for _atque excusantibus illis malum non esse mathematicum eorum parentum
in ludo servare_, “and when they said that there was no harm in their
commemorating their parents’ wedlock in a play.” I have accepted
_jecturâ_ for in jecturam and his translation of it. It is unfortunate
that a critical edition of the _Vita Samsonis_ has not yet been
prepared. L’Abbé Duine has indeed furnished some useful notes—only too
few—on the syntax and the peculiar use of certain pronouns, prepositions
and adjectives.[130] But, as Professor Loth truly observes, to produce
such an edition a minute study of the syntax is required and also a
glossary of all the words which in form or in meaning are peculiar—a
glossary in which all the idioms should be exhibited. The task requires
special qualifications and will not perhaps appeal strongly to those who
have them. Sooner or later someone will doubtless be found to undertake
it, someone, it is hoped, who is not only a scholar but who is familiar
with the religious literature of the seventh and eighth centuries.

APPENDIX D
ERECTION OF THE PRIORY OF ST. MICHAEL IN CORNWALL
(_Monasticon_, p. 414)
_Prioratûs St. Michaelis in Cornubiâ constructio_ (Ex custumali
Prioratûs de Otterton, fol. 58).
Omnibus Sancte Dei ecclesie filiis notificare dignum duximus quod
ecclesia beati Michaelis de Cornubia a venerabili Bernardo, ecclesie
prefati archangeli de Periculo Maris abbate, in anno quo hominem exuit
rex Henricus constructa, et in anno regis Stephani a religioso viro
Roberto Exoniensi presule prestito abbate, qui presens aderat, id
impetrante, Domino est consecrata. Idem vero abbas sagaci mente
pertractans celestis militie principem locum eundem Deo ad serviendum et
sibi ad inhabitandum delegisse, predicti pontificis consilio et comitis
Raneri et baronum provincie suffragio, ut divinitati honor perpetuus
impenderetur, officinas religioni idoneas construere et fratres xiii in
honorem Christi Jhesu et apostolorum ejus, ut, videlicet, pro modulo suo
in fide que per dilectionem operatur et spe in cultura vinee Domini
Sabbaoth desudantis denarium mereretur retributionis, aggregare curavit;
de redditibus ecclesie tam antiquitus datis quam a viris provincie in
presentia sua ad hoc attributis victui eorum necessario sufficienter
providens.
Constituit autem ut vel per se vel per alium e fratribus ecclesiam de
Monte in Normannia qui ex abbatis loci ejusdem precepto prioris in
Cornubia fungetur officio annis singulis invisere non negligat, et
argenti marchas xvi finetenus reddat. Quod si constitutioni huic
obviare, vel contra abbatem suum vel conventum in aliquo presumpserit
contraire, de prioratu suo degradetur, et alius pro abbatis arbitrio et
conventus abbatie consilio subrogetur. Si vero superbus fuerit et
contumax et prelatis ecclesie de Monte in Normannia inobediens
extiterit, omni participatione totius beneficii ecclesie totius dicte,
omniumque ecclesiarum ipsi societate aliqua connexarum, excommunicationi
se deleat. Frates quidem, qui in Cornubia sancte conversationis habitum
susceperint, monochatus jura in Monte Tumba profitentes, benedictionem
monastici ordinis ab abbate suo ibidem suscepturos se noverint, nisi
forte ei in Cornubiam venienti eos illuc benedicere placuerit. Hoc
itaque tam justa Dei dispensatione tamque virorum sapientum discretione
patratum, quicunque sive princeps sive potestas aliquam infringere
presumpserit, videlicet, monachorum numerum qui pro facultatum
ampliatione, et ipse ampliandus est, imminuat, et jam dicti loci
possessiones in usus alteros convertat, ipsum, in quantum nobis a Domino
collata est potestas, anathematis innodamus vinculo et hujus
retributionem sceleris a justo judice suscipiat in futuro. Quicunque
autem possessiones easdem conservare et pro suarum modulo facultatum,
quia valuit Zachee rerum suarum multa distributio, valuerunt etiam vidue
minuta duo, et regnum Dei tantum valet quantum homines, augmentare
curaverunt, omnium se orationum totiusque beneficii ecclesie beate
Michaelis de Monte in Normannia participes esse sciant.
He sunt possessiones quas ex dono comitis Roberti de Mortenio ecclesia
beati Michaelis de Cornubia tenet: Tremaine, ubi ad duas carucas terra
sufficiens habetur: Trahorabohc, ubi ad tres; Listyavehet, ubi ad tres;
Treganeis, ubi ad duas; Carmahelech, ubi ad duas. Adjacet terra preter
pascua ad omnia animalia necessaria; que simul caruce xii faciunt.
