He spent large sums on repairs, on plate for the churches upon the monastery's estates, and on books, including printed books for the convent. He was fond of comfort, amusement, and display. A letter from a monk, John Musard, written while in prison, which has been printed by Noake, contains a list of complaints against a certain 'untrue master,' who is clearly identical with More, for one charge is that he made a new mitre, a needless extravagance, and the costs of this mitre are entered in More's diary. Musard complains, too, of the prior's gifts to his relations, of the sale of the monastery's plate, and of neglect of the buildings. Musard had been put in prison by More in 1531. In February 1532 More served in the commission of the peace ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
