time at the isle of Gerneswic," returned to Normandy. After this, setting out for Jerusalem, he left his son William, then a little child, his heir; and having fulfilled his vow, in returning to his country, died at the city of Nicæa. At the time of William succeeding to the dukedom of Normandy, Canute, king of the English, departed this life, and was succeeded by Harold Harefoot, his son by his concubine Elgiva. Edward, feeling indignant at this, setting sail with forty ships, landed at Hampton, 12 where the English showing resistance, after taking considerable booty, he returned to Normandy. In the meantime, however, his brother Alfred, who, with a large body of troops, had made an attempt upon another part, being received by earl Godwin with an appearance of hospitality, was by stratagem taken by him at night together with his followers; and being placed in chains and brought before king Harold, together with his companions, was deprived of his eyes, the rest being put to death. Not long after this, Harold Harefoot also died, and Hardicanute, returning from Denmark, succeeded him, being the son of Emma, the mother of Edward. On this, Hardicanute sent for his elder brother Edward from Normandy, and made him live with him, and on his death,two years after, Edward sucIceeded him as his heir. The good king Edward reigned twenty-two years, but having no issue, sent to his kinsman, William, duke of the Normans, Robert, the archbishop of Canterbury, and made him the heir to his kingdom: after him he also sent earl Harold, who swore fealty to William at Rouen. But, after the death of Edward, Harold treacherously and rebelliously took possession of the kingdom and reigned nine months, and together with his powerful accomplices, seducers, and associates, unjustly, iniquitously, and seditiously deprived the lawful heir of the good king Edward of the crown of the whole of the said kingdom;13 on hearing of which, William setting sail with a powerful fleet, landed at Pevensey, and after building a fortress there, erected another at Hastings. Harold, meeting him with the English, fought a battle at about the third hour of the day on the second day before the Ides of October, in which Harold was slain at the first onset; the fight, however, having been prolonged until nightfall. William being victorious, was, on the following feast of the Nativity of our Lord, 11 Guernsey. 12 Southampton. 13 Several lines are here given from Wilkins, which are clearly by inadvertence omitted in the text of Hoveden. in the year of the Incarnation of our Lord one thousand six hundred and sixty-six, crowned at London, king of the English. He reigned over England twenty-two years; and after his death his son William reigned thirteen years; in the ninth year of whose reign a pilgrimage1 of the nations to Jerusalem against the Saracens took place. In the fourth year of this expedition, Jerusalem was taken by the Franks, and Godfrey, duke of Lorraine, reigned over it, though for one year only; and was succeeded by his brother Baldwin, who reigned eighteen years. King William was slain with an arrow while hunting in England, in the thirteenth year of his reign; on which he was succeeded by his brother Henry, who reigned thirty-six years. He was a feeder of wild beasts, 15 and a guardian of the forests, and has been styled by Merlinus Ambrosius,16 in his "History of the Kings," " the lion of justice;" for he exercised justice and judgment in the land. He was succeeded by Stephen, his nephew, who reigned nineteen years; after whose death Henry, the son of Geoffrey, earl of Anjou, and of Matilda, the former empress of the Romans, and daughter of the before-named king Henry the First, took the helm of the kingdom of England, and reigned thirty-five years. He dying, and being buried at the abbey of the nuns at Fontevraud, his son Richard succeeded him in the government of the kingdom, and after having reigned nine years, seven months, and, twenty days, being struck by an arrow at the siege of the castle of Chaluz, departed this life on the eighth day before the ides of April. His entrails were interred at Chinon, his heart at Rouen, and his body at Fontevraud. After his decease his brother John succeeded to the throne, and reigned over the kingdom of England.1 14 The first Crusade. 15 Alluding to his maintenance of the Forest laws in all their strictness. 16 A Latinized form of the British name of Merlin, or Merdhin Emrys, the magician and prophet.
