Alan of Tewkesbury
text:
Alan, Abbot of Tewkesbury is said by Gervase of Canterbury to be of English descent. He probably spent some time at Benevento (Italy). Became a monk at Canterbury, rising to prior in 1179. In the struggle between Thomas of Canterbury and Henry II, he was a strong supporter of Thomas. As a result, he went to Tewkesbury as abbot where he was out of Henry's way. His works are written about in Life of St. Thomas printed in the second volume of Materials for the History of Thomas Becket, edited by Ja
