50 An Enquiry into the Name of 
of this account, he cites Mantuanus.* But it seems 
Bale has, in great measure, “huddled up the cen- 
turies of English writers from Leland; and, with 
most prodigious slanders, has defiled the truth of 
chronology, and of sie histories received from 
that diligent antiquary.”+ 
Leland’s account is in many respects different: 
he expressly says, that John Vescy founded ‘Huln 
Abbey ;{ and he mentions Fresburn merely because 
Scripsit non contemnenda, ut fama est, opuscula.|} 
Fresburn and some other Englishmen lived at Mount 
Carmel; and John Vescy and Richard Grey find- 
ing them there presidem loci enixissime rogabant, 
ut liceret tllos abducere; tandemque exorabant, sed 
non alto nomine, quam ut fundamenta tam clare reli= 
Etonrs in Angha jacerent.§ 
Amongst the Englishmen thus brought over into 
England, Fresburn was placed at the head of the 
society at Huln, and Radulph Ivo at the head of 
Grey’s foundation at Ailsford: but neither Fres- 
burn nor Ivo were the founders of those monas- 
teries.
