Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

Whereupon Jugner and Hubba, Lothbrooke's Sons, gathering an Army of Danes invaded first Northumberland, then Norfolk, and sent to King Edmund to divide his Treasures to him, and be subject to him, else he would dispossess him of his kingdom, he answered he would not be subject to a Pagan Duke, unless before he become a Christian, then the Danes besieged his house, but he fled and pitched a field with them, but the Danes prevailing, he fled to the Castle of Halesdon, where they took him and bound him to a stake, and shot him to death.
