Christs victory over Satan's tyranny Wherein is contained a catalogue of all Christs faithful soldiers that the Devil either by his grand captains the emperors, or by his most dearly beloved sons and heirs the popes, have most cruelly martyred for the truth. With all the poisoned doctrines wherewith that great read dragon hath made drunken the kings and inhabitants of the earth; with the confutations of them together with all his traitorous practises and designs, against all Christian princes to this day, especially against our late Queen Elizabeth of famous memory, and our most religious Sovereign Lord King James. Faithfully abstracted out of the Book of martyrs, and divers other books.

King Eldred hearing the death of Swanus, returned into England. Canutus fled to Sandwich, and cutting off the noses and hands of the pledges, which his Father left 〈…〉 him, sayled into Denmarke.
The next year Canutus returned again with a great Host, and forced the people to be sworn unto him, and give him pledges. In this season King Eldred died at London, after he had reigned 38. years, and was buried in Pauls.
The next yeare Canutus returned againe with a great Host, and forced the people to be sworne vnto him, and giue him pledges. In this season King Eldred died at London, after he had raigned 38. yeares, and was buried in Paules.
After whose death the most part chose Canutus, the King of the Danes, King; generally all the Clergy men choose him, but the Citizens of London, and certain Nobles choose Edmund, the eldest son of Egelred King; who for his hardiness to endure labour was surnamed Ironside. Betwixt these two martial Princes many great battles were sought, with no great difference of victory; at length, by rensent, they two only tried the quarrel in the fight of both Hosts, and when they had assayed each other with sharp words and strokes, they both agreed, and kissed each other, and divided the Land between them, and during their lives loved as brethren. Shortly after, one of the sons of Duke Edricus aforesaid killed King Edmund, after he had reigned two years. He left two sons behind him, Edmund and Edward, whom the wicked Duke took from their mother, she not knowing of her husbands death, and presented them to Canutus, saying; Ave Rex solus. Canutus sent them to his brother Swanus, King of Sweveland, to be laine; but he sent them to Solamon King of Hungary, where Edmund married the Kings Daughter, and dyed: and Edward was married to Agatha the daughter to the Emperor Henry the fourth.
