Strana 222 - The king had a great council, and very deep speech with his ' witan' about this land, how it was peopled, or by what men ; then sent his men over all England into every shire, and caused to be ascertained how many hundred hides were in the shire, or what land the king himself had, and cattle within the land, or what dues he ought to have, in twelve months, from the shire. Also, he caused to be written how much land his archbishops had, and his suffragan bishops, and his abbots, and his earls ; and...

Strana 181 - Morkar for their earl. And the king granted it, and sent Harold again to them at Northampton, on the eve of St. Simon's and St. Jude's mass [27th Oct.] ; and he made known the same to them, and delivered a pledge thereof unto them : and he there renewed Cnut's law.
Strana 186 - And there came to meet him archbishop Ealdred, and Eadgar child, and earl Eadwine, and earl Morkere, and all the best men of London, and then from necessity submitted when the greatest harm had been done ; and it was very imprudent that it was not done earlier, as God would not better it for our sins...

Strana 149 - ... must pay tribute to the army. Then the king sent to the army, and directed it to be made known to them, that he would that there should be a truce between them, and that tribute should be paid, and food given them. And then all that they accepted : and then were they victualled from throughout the English nation.
Strana 148 - Cuckamsley-hill, that they would never again get to the sea : then they went homewards another way. Then were forces assembled at Kennet and they there joined battle, and they soon brought...
Strana 182 - Northampton the while that he went on their errand, inasmuch as they slew men, and burned houses and corn, and took all the cattle which they might come at, that was many thousand ; and many hundred men they took and led north with them ; so that that shire, and the other shires which there are nigh, were for many years the worse.
