 This account was dismissed as a fable by Gough and Tanner, who asserted it had been founded by Manasser Bisset himself.In about 1190 it was converted into an Augustinian priory by Hubert, Bishop of Salisbury.At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, King Henry VIII (1509–1547) granted the priory to Edward Seymour, 1st Viscount Beauchamp (c.1500–1552) (later 1st Duke of Somerset and Lord Protector), the eldest brother of his third wife Queen Jane Seymour (d.1537), and mother of the future King Edward VI (1547–1553).
