During the Anglo-Norman civil war, upon hearing the abbey was being used by Duke Robert Curthose as a stable,{{sfn|Hicks|2007|p=129}} Robert of Bellême burned it down.{{sfn|Green|1999|p=113}} The abbess, Bellême's sister Emma, fled with her sister nuns and were housed in surrounding homes or at the monastery of St. Evroul.{{sfn|Hicks|2007|p=129}} The following year Emma had the abbey rebuilt.{{sfn|Hicks|2007|p=129}} Consequently, the abbey would suffer another fire under Abbess Matilda, Emma's successor.{{sfn|Hicks|2007|p=129}}
