In the time of these Danish Kings, there was one Godwin, an Earle in England, when the aforesaid two snnes of King Egelred, Alfred and Edward, came from Normandy to England to visit their mother Emma, and brought with them a great company of Normans, this Godwin, having a Daughter named Godith, whom he thought to have married to Edward, and made him king. He persuaded the king Hardeknight that the Normans should be slain, and gat authority to order the matter himself. Wherefore he met them at Guildowne, with a company of English Soldiers, slew almost all the Normans, winding their gots out of their bellies, and put out the eyes of Alfred the eldest brother, and sent him to the Abby of Ely, where he fed him with bread and water, until shortly after he dyed. Edward escaped to his mother, who fearing Godwin, sent him again into Normandy. This cruel fact to the Normans, seemeth to be the cause why the Just Judgement of God, shortly after, Conquered the English Nation by the Normans.
