This year also died Earl Elias, who held Maine in fee-tail¹⁴⁰ of King Henry (age 42); and after his death the [his son-in-law] Earl of Anjou (age 21) succeeded to it, and held it against the king. This was a very calamitous year in this land, through the contributions which the king received for his [his granddaughter-in-law] daughter's (age 7) portion, and through the badness of the weather, by which the fruits of the earth were very much marred, and the produce of the trees over all this land almost entirely perished. This year men began first to work at the new minster at Chertsey [Map].
