  Simeon (Son Of Jacob) - LoveToKnow 1911
xxxiv., the brothers Simeon and Levi massacred the males of Shechem to avenge the violation of their sister Dinah ("judgment") by Shechem the son of Hamor.
Simeon is reckoned among the N. tribes in 2 Chron.
As the narrative now stands, the conduct of Simeon and Levi is judged far less unfavourably than in Jacob's curse, and the editor evidently shared that aversion from foreign marriages (especially with the Samaritans of Shechem) which is characteristic of the post-exilic age (cf.

 §3. The Northumbrian School of English Medieval History; Simeon of Durham. IX. Latin Chroniclers from the Eleventh ...
The first conspicuous representative of the northern school of chroniclers in the twelfth century is Simeon, precentor of the monastery of Durham, and he, like so many historiographers after him, makes Bede the foundation of the early part of his history.
Little is known of Simeon’s life, and it is impossible to determine whether he was the actual compiler, or merely the editor, of the chronicle which bears his name.
Simeon’s chronicle was continued down to the close of the reign of Stephen by two priors of Hexham.

 The Heroic Age: An Appeal to Rome
Simeon's account of Eardwulf's invasion in 801 implies that this was not a small-scale border skirmish, but a significant threat that required Cenwulf to collect an army from other kingdoms.
Simeon describes a conflict between two kingdoms of relatively equal strength, a contrast to the accepted narrative of eighth-ninth century Anglo-Saxon England, which tends to juxtapose Mercian ascendancy with Northumbrian instability.
The role of Simeon's rex Anglorum is similar to that of the pope in the ecclesiastical disputes we have briefly examined.

 Durham cathedral: Historical survey | British History Online
Durham Cathedral stands on a rocky height bounded on the east, south, and west by a bend of the river Wear.
To the north and south of the cathedral the level space is considerable, but the building occupies the whole extent of the level ground from east to west, the buttresses of the westernmost portion actually descending the face of the cliff some forty feet, whence the thickly wooded slope descends rapidly to the river.
The scale and magnificence of the design would alone set Durham in the first rank of the great Romanesque churches of the north, but an exceptional value is added to it by the complete structural evidence of the intention to cover the whole building with stone rib-vaults as part of the original scheme.

This latter part of the commission, which was rigorously executed near the court and in the southern provinces, was not much regarded in the more remote northern counties, where they were usually interred in the churches where their shrines were kept, as we see in St. Cuthbert's, St. John of Beverley's, andc.

 Berkshire History: Biographies: William de St. Carileph, Bishop of Durham (d. 1095)
He relocated the monks from Wearmouth and Jarrow to Durham and, ten years later, began the massive task of erecting the vast cathedral which we see there today.
The removal of Bishop Eldhun’s old Saxon building, was perhaps rendered necessary by the introduction of the monks and by the additional space which they required, or possibly just by the usual Norman love of construction.
The castle of Durham and the temporalities of the see were seized for the King; and it was not until three years had passed that, in 1091, a reconciliation was effected, and the Bishop was returned to his see, bringing with him, as is very probable, the plans for his new cathedral.

Symeon (or Simeon) of Durham flourished in the early twelfth century.
"It is not probable that both these chronicles, which constitute the History of the Kings, are the work of Simeon of Durham; or, indeed, that they are to be ascribed to one and the same author.
They give no prominence to the fortunes of the church of Durham, or the individuals who were connected with it; whereas the history of Hexham and its bishops is detailed at considerable length, so much so indeed, as to lead to the inference that the author was an inmate of that establishment."

The enemy escaped, but a peaceful settlement was made by the good offices of Odo of Canterbury and Wulfstan of York.

This division seems not credible, especially in face of the poem inserted in the chronicle (sub anno 942).

Old Simeon of Durham has painted the doleful spectacles with which the men of these parts were at that time familiar.
The harvests, he tells us, were swept off, the trees were cut down, towns were given to the flames, and their inhabitants to the sword, and, saddest of all, bands of young men and young women were led away to become bondsmen and bondswomen to their Scotch captors.

At that time the saint's vestments were found in all their pristine freshness and strength, and were displayed by the brethren of the church for the veneration of the faithful.
When he was an adolescent and was living in the house of his brother, a priest, he was once asked by his brother to keep an eye on some relics of St. Acca which he had wrapped in a cloth and laid on the altar of St. Michael in the southern porch of the church.
Then it came into the mind of Aldred that a certain church (we may guess that it was Durham) would be greatly enriched by the bones of St. Acca.
