Chronicles' End: logic of drunkenness implying strictness?
Line 55:
 
I do not understand this sentence in section [[Peterborough Chronicle#Unique authorial voice]]: ''It does not seem likely that Peterborough was in any sense a lax or secular monastery, as the description of drunkenness causing the fire would not have made the abbey singular in the age.'' - drunken monks were not unusual then, therefore the monastery was likely to have been strict? I cannot follow the logic here. -[[User:Wikibob|Wikibob]] | [[User talk:Wikibob|Talk]] 10:16, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
 
: I think it means "the drunkenness doesn't necessarily imply that the monastery was lax". But I agree it's not very well phrased. [[User:Stephen Turner|Stephen Turner]] 10:35, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
