The Camp Of Refuge: A Tale Of The Conquest Of The Isle Of Ely. Edited, With Notes And Appendix, By Samuel H. Miller This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

The Norman Conquest of 1066 of England was quite remarkable for its completeness. However, the Isle of Ely became what we have come to term a 'Pocket of resistance'. It was then that the natural defenses of the Isle became of prime importance, and were exploited by the Saxon leader, Hereward the Wake. Upon his return to the family estates at Bourne in Lincolnshire in 1068, Hereward found that they had been given to a Norman, Ivo de Taillebuis, by William the Conqueror and his brother's decapi-tated head had been impaled above the entrance. Hereward became possessed, and was not long avenging the death of his brother. That very night, armed with what he could carry, he attacked, and did slay 15 Norman Soldiers and mounted their heads in the place of his brother's. After a number of adventures, including the sacking of the monastery at Peterborough, which Hereward did to forestall the Norman Abbot Turold, he went to Ely and took command of the Saxons who defied the Normans. William was encamped with his army at Brandon, but could not find a way through the fens and finding that he could not make a successful attack upon Ely from the direction of Brandon, William moved his army to Cambridge, and tried to gain access to the Isle of Ely across causeways at Stuntney, Little Thetford and Aldreth. He was prevented from doing so by Hereward and his followers. They exploited the remoteness of the Island of Eels. The Normans would have to prepare wooden rafts to enable a full assault on the settlement. Hereward allowed, even worked on the building of the rafts, and bridges only to booby trap them with explosives and weaknesses. Then when the bridges were most full of Normans for the attack, Hereward did set them alight. Many were said to have perished and were taken with fear of the marsh and its deadly gumption. But the Ely Monks were not in full agreement with the Saxon leader Hereward, and William eventually gained access into Ely with the aid of information supplied by the treacherous monks of Ely. Hereward escaped and lived to fight another day... but, in spite the betrayal of their Saxon defenders, William exacted a heavy penalty from the monks and the Abbot of Ely. Ely was the second richest monastery in England at the time of the Domes-day survey made by William I and pardon was only obtained after making a journey to Warwick, and the payment of a thousand pounds. It is recorded that in order to satisfy William the monks had to melt down or sell almost all the gold and silver objects in the church, including crosses, altars, shrines, tissues, chalices, patens, basins, buckets, fistulas, goblets, dishes, and above all the figure of St. Mary with the Child seated on a throne of wonderful workmanship which Abbot Elsin (died 1016) had made, also four wooden figures of Virgins enriched with gold and silver and many precious stones.
