An other fault which Malmesbury noteth in him, was the coming in of strangers into this land, as Saxons, Flemings, & Danes, whom he with great familiarity retained, to the great detriment of this land, as the foresaid story of Malmesbury recordeth, whose words be these. Undè factum est, ut fama eius per ora omnium volitante, alienigenae, Saxons, Flandritae, ipsi etiam Dani huc frequenter annavigarent, Edgaro familiares effecti: quo rum aduentus magnum provincialibus detrimentum peperit. Inde meritò jureque reprehendunt eum literae, &c. That is, whereby it happened, that divers strangers out of foreign countries▪ 1allured by his fame, came into the land, as Saxons, Flemings, and Danes also, all which he retained with great familiarity. The coming of which strangers wrought great damage to the realm, and therefore is Edgar justly blamed in stories, &c. with the which reprehension all the Saxon stories also do agree.

Vndè factum est, vt fama eius per ora omnium volitante, alienigenae, Saxones, Flandritae, ipsi etiam Dani huc frequenter annauigarent, Edgaro familiares effecti: quo rum aduentus magnū prouincialibus detrimentum peperit. Inde meritò iureque reprehendunt eum literae, &c. That is, wherby it happened, that diuers straungers out of foraine countreys▪ 1allured by hys fame, came into the land, as Saxones, Flemmings, and Danes also, all which he retained with great familiaritie. The comming of which straungers wrought great dammage to the realme, and therfore is Edgar iustly blamed in stories, &c. with the which reprehension all the Saxone stories also do agree.
