Willelmus primus, rex Anglie primus post conquisic(i)onem ejus.
Iste Willelmus, dictus Bastardus, dux Normannorum, Angliam sibi, expulso rege Haraldo, triumphator magnificus, potenter adquisditam subjugavit. Abbaciam de Bello, ubi triumpharat, fundavit. Regnavit annis XXI et amplius.
Willelmus secundus, rex secundus, Rufus.
Iste Willelmus secundus, Rufus dictus et existens, Anglos nobiles, qui et patrem ejus receperunt et ipsum creaverunt, fatigavit et expulit. Aulam Westmonasterii construxit. Tandem sagitta periit, postquam regnaverat annis XXI.
Henricus Primus senior, rex tercius.
Iste Henricus Primus, vir potens et sapiens, juravit leges sancti Eduuardi inviolabiliter tenere, sed postquam vicerat fratrem suum, noluit. Nobile cenobium de Radingo, ubi sepultus jacet, fundavit et episcopatum constituit Karleolis. Regnavit autem annis XXXIIII et circiter dimidium.
Stephanus, rex quartus.
Iste Stephanus, miles strenuissimus, omnibus diebus dubiis casibus bellorum interfuit. Iste abbaciam de Fevresham fundavit. In qua ipse et Eustachius, filius ejus, et Matildis regina, uxor ejus, jacent sepulti. Iste regnavit annis XIX.
