1548 Meanwhile Harold was ready to give battle whether by land or sea, covering most of the shore with an immense army, and cunningly sent over spies.
It is said that in this battle many thousands of English lost their lives, Christ in them exacting retribution for the violent and unlawful death meted out to Alfred, brother of king Edward. At length the fortunate war-leader who was no less protected by good counsel, leaving the high-road, turned away from the city at Wallingford, where he crossed the river and ordered camp to be pitched. Moving on from there he came to London, where an advance-party of knights (milites) on entering the city found a large force of rebels determined to make a vigorous resistance.
Meanwhile Edward and Alfred were still exiles at the court of their kinsman, prince William, having formerly fled as boys to their uncles in Normandy to save their lives. Their mother was Emma, daughter of Richard I, and their father Ethelred, king of the English. 2 There follow (pp. 412, paragraphs 25) an account of the respective expeditions of Edward and Alfred to England with the death of the latter, very close to the account given by William of Jumièges (16, 17); an apostrophe to earl Godwin accusing him of responsibility for Alfred's death and swearing that William 'the most glorious duke' will avenge his perfidy upon his son Harold; and a notice of the death of Harthacnut (1042) who succeeded Harold Harefoot as king of the English.
