 | | In 1009 he became Abbot of Tavistock, and that was always his favorite of the offices he held. |
 | | In 1040, however, after Canute was dead, Lyfing was implicated in the capture of Alfred Atheling at Guildford, after which Alfred's eyes were put out so clumsily that he soon died, and the massacre of his men. |
 | | When Lyfing died, he chose to be buried at Tavistock, the abbey he had favored all his life. |
