§. 95. Of the troubles of England from the Conquest to Queene Elizabeths time.
1. William, Duke of Normandy, surnamed The Conqueror, 1got the crown with much blood, having slain Harold the King immediately before him, two of his brothers, and 67974 English men. He changed many of the laws and customs of England. He defaced many Churches, and depopulated sundry towns to make a forrest for beasts: where two of his own sons were strangely slain. The Danes to recover the Crown, in his days invaded the land, burnt York, and slew 3000 men. The Scots likewise about the same time made great spoil in England: and spared nor sex nor age. Much trouble was in the land all his time. Being in France, and there setting a town on fire, he rode so near the fire, as his horse with the heat thereof gave such a leap, as it brake the rim of his belly, whereof he died, in the 21. year of his reign, and 64 of his age. Being dead, he was denied burial till much mediation was made, and a great composition paid.
