A NOTHER generation had sprung up since the -lj- Anglo-Saxon nation had endured the merciless penance to which it had been doomed by Popes Alexander and Gregory, and their condition had been gradually ameliorated, when a boy belonging to a family of the better class living obscurely in St. Alban's attracted the attention of the monks of the neighbouring abbey. These fraternities generally selected lads of good appearance and promising disposition to fill trifling duties in their service, and in return for assistance in the choir, or at the altar, had them carefully instructed and prepared for the priesthood. Florence of Worcester, Eadmer, and several of the ecclesiastical worthies of the twelfth century, were of the same race, andwere similarly nurtured-See 'Wright, " Biographia Britannica Literaria," Anglo-Norman Period. The boy was Nicholas, son of Breakspear, apparently, by the patronymic, an Anglo-Saxon soldier of fortune. Some writers assert that he was of noble birth; but that the invaders had robbed him of his heritage, and that he had then maintained himself probably by labour. The various biographers of Nicholas Breakspear differ considerably in. their accounts of his childhood.
