Selected events of Henry II’s reign. A.D. 1157.
Jan-March: During the King's stay in Normandy, Louis seems to have held a Court at Orleans, whereat he publicly recognized the right of Henry II., as Comte of Anjou and Seneschal of France, to custody of the Abbey of St. Julian at Tours. Among the witnesses of Louis's declaration were, Joscius, Archbishop of Tours (who appears to Vaiognes. have contested the matter previously) ; Philip, brother of the French King ; William fitz Hamo ; Robert de Novo Burgo; and Hugh de Cleeriis.
Feb. The Queen and her children leave Normandy, land at Southampton, and proceed to London. Hence at Michaelmas, 11.57, the Fermor of Southampton charges :
July. It was now probably that Malcolm, King of Scots, surrendered Bamborough, Newcastle, and Carlisle to the King. Malcolm seems to have passed through Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Nottinghamshire, and to have awaited King Henry at Peak Castle, in Derbyshire, and thence to Peak castle. have accompanied the King to Chester. 
The King invades North Wales. The English army Chester falls into an ambuscade near Basingwerk (at Counsylth).Eustace fitz John and Robert de Courci were slain. Henry de Essex, Constable of England, disgraced himself (as was afterwards alleged) by personal cowardice. With reference to this Welsh expedition, there are many entries on the Pipe-Roll of the following Michaelmas.
Sept. Royal Writ, ascribed to this year, and probably belonging to the month of September, is addressed to Richard de Camvill, Sheriff of Berkshire (whose term of office expired at Michaelmas, 1157). It is in favour of Abingdon Abbey. It is dated at Windsor, and attested, singly, by Earl Reginald (of Cornwall). A Royal Charter, dated at Woodstock, confirms an agreement made between William Woodstock.fitz Gilbert and the Monks of Furness Abbey (Lancashire).
The witnesses (chiefly north-countrymen) are Hugh, Bishop of Durham ; Robert, Bishop of Lincoln ; Robert, Earl of Leicester ; Richard de Luci, William de Vesci, Geoffrey de Valoniis, William de Agremont, Aubert de Grellei, John Constable, Henry fitz Suan, Gospatric fitz Orm, Richard fitz Ivo, and Richard Pincerna. This Charter is expressed to be expedited 'per rnanus Stephani Capellani,'—a Vice- Chancellor, who will afterwards appear in a like capacity as 'Magister Stephanies de Ftdgeriis, Prcecentor of Moretain.
Queen Eleanor gives birth to a son, Richard, at Oxford. Hence at Michaelmas, 1157, the Sheriff of Oxfordshire charges: In corredlo Regince.

At Basingwerk Abbey, a 1131-2 construction founded by Ranulf, Earl of Chester with the support of the monks of Savigny and now a Grade I listed building.
The Savignacs, inspired by the vision of St Vitalis of Mortain, were active in Normandy, England, Wales and Ireland; we encountered them at Buildwas, Shropshire, where they set up in 1135.
In 1147 the Savignacs were acquired by the Cistercians, whose vast network of lands Basingwerk became connected to, enjoying the patronage of Henry II and his heirs; after Basingwerk came under the supervision of Buildwas in 1157 it prospered further as Cistercian austerity and hard work began to pay off.
This situation was further threatened by Edward I’s campaigns in Wales, beginning 1277, and though Edward offered compensation and patronage to the abbey, Basingwerk was in decline, the monks lamenting in 1355 that the house had been “ruined and destroyed forever by divers frauds”.
Some rather bad abbots worsened the situation with one, Henry Wirral, being imprisoned for felony. Even the reforming abbot Thomas Pennant (1481-1522) wasn’t perfect, and his recreations included fathering bastards, one of whom, Nicholas, succeeded him. 
Nicholas was unable to build up the congregation and the Suppression of Religious Houses Act did for Basingwerk, which was stripped and despoiled in 1537. Thus one unclean spirit was cast out and seven entered in as the place was simply left in ruins.
The ruins attracted many poets and artists such as (2) Samuel and Nathaniel Buck, who came here in 1742. This is good since many features they depicted are no longer here, especially after a collapse of the south transept in 1901.
Basingwerk now sits on the North Wales Pilgrims Way and very close to the coast, where I set off for the final stage of my own pilgrimage.
