  Eadmer
In 1120 he was nominated to the archbishopric of St Andrews, but as the Scots would not recognize the authority of the see of Canterbury he was never consecrated, and soon afterwards he resigned his claim to the archbishopric.
Eadmer left a large number of writings, the most important of which is his Historiae novorum, a work which deals mainly with the history of England between 1066 and 1122.
Less noteworthy are Eadmer's lives of St Dunstan, St Bregwin, archbishop of Canterbury, and St Oswald, archbishop of York; these are all printed in Henry Wharton[?]'s Anglia Sacra, part ii.

 §5. Eadmer and Ordericus Vitalis. IX. Latin Chroniclers from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries. Vol. 1. ...
Eadmer, the follower and intimate friend of Anselm, wrote in six books a history of his own times down to the year 1122—Historia Novorum in Aanglia—which is full of fresh and vivid detail.
In his preface Eadmer justifies the historian who confines himself to a narrative of contemporary events; the difficulty of obtaining an accurate knowledge of the past had convinced him that none deserved better of posterity than he who wrote a faithful record of the happenings of his own lifetime.
Eadmer is almost modern in his deliberate limitation of himself to a period and a special subject upon which he could speak as first-hand authority.

 Anselm
Eadmer says he became almost famished, tried to sustain himself by eating snow, and then made a miraculous discovery of "bread of exceptional whiteness" in the snow and was able to complete the crossing.
Eadmer writes that when Anselm became prior, he felt he had more "liberty" to serve God, and gave up "worldly affairs." He became noted as devout, as one who practiced strict spiritual discipline, and first became known outside of Bec when some of his prayers and meditations were published.
Eadmer records Anselm as saying that "all time is wasted which is not devoted either to profitable studies or necessary business," and says he not only lived up to this ideal, but was almost over-zealous in "cultivating all virtues" for himself.

Eadmer, on his part, declared that the church of Canterbury had, by ancient right, a pre-eminence over all Britain, and he humbly proposed to receive consecration from that metropolitan see.
He refused to allow Eadmer permission to visit Canterbury "for the counsel and blessing (meaning no doubt consecration) of the archbishop," contending that the church of Scotland owed no subjection to Canterbury, and that Eadmer himself had been freed from all subjection to it.
In the anomalous and uncomfortable position in which he found himself, Eadmer was induced to ask the advice of a friend in England, one Nicholas, whom Lord Hailes conjectures to have been an ecclesiastical agent, whose business it was to solicit causes at the court of Rome.

According to Eadmer's Historia novorum in Anglia, the reason for Harold's excursion to Normandy in 1064 or 1065 was that he wished to free Wulfnoth as well as his nephew Hakon.
To this end he took with him a vast amount of wealth, all of which was confiscated by Count Guy I of Ponthieu when Harold and his party were shipwrecked.

 Notes
Sharpe, "Eadmer's Letter to the Monks of Glastonbury," in The Archeology and History of Glastonbury Abbey, ed.
I must disagree here with the translation of Walter Frohlich, who argues that Anselm's statement that Eadmer was a monk of Bec is not true and is disproved by his own words in the sentence.
One wonders if Anselm ordered Eadmer to destroy his work not so much because of Anselm's humility, but because Eadmer revealed too much that should be kept secret.

From the time that William, Duke of Normandy, conquered England and subdued it no one was ever made a bishop or abbot there without first being made the King's man and receiving from the King investiture by the presentation of the pastoral staff.
Then again he would not allow any one of his bishops, except on his express instructions, to proceed against or excommunicate one of his barons or officers for incest or adultery or any other cardinal offence, even when notoriously guilty, or to lay upon him any punishment of ecclesiastical discipline.

In other passages, Eadmer asserts that nobody escaped damnation before the advent of the Son of Mary; that the Son wished His mother to be pure; that Mary was indebted to her Son for her Queenship; that:
But it is well to note that the words of Eadmer do not exclude the possible interpretation that the "Wisdom of God," to which he attributes the purity of the Blessed Virgin, is not the Incarnate Word, but the Godhead in general.
Indeed, Eadmer sometimes ascribes to the "Wisdom of God" those operations which are commonly attributed to God the Father, for example, the creation of man, instituting or decreeing the liberation of the human race from damnation, and so on.
