Upon these answers received, Duke William, in the while that the messengers went and came: gathered his knights, and prepared his name, and had the assent of the Lords of his land to aide and assist him in his journey.1And over that sending unto Rome to pope Alexander, concerning his title & voyage into england: the pope confirmeth him in the same, and sent unto him a banner, willing him to hear it in the ship, wherein himself should sail. Thus Duke William, being purveyed of all things concerning his journey: sped him to the sea side, and took shipping at the haven off. Ualery: where he tarried a long time, or he might have a convenient wind. For the which his soldiers murmured (saying) it was a woodness, & a thing displeasing God, to desire to have an others mans kingdom by strength, and namely when God was against it in sending contrary wind.2 &c. At the last the wind shortly after came about, and they took shipping with a great company, and landed at Hastings in Sussex.
