- 1The hardness or rather rashness of K. Will.The hardnes or rather rashnes of K. Wil.
Of this king William, many things be diversly recorded, some to his commendation, & some to his discommē dation: whereof this is one which some will ascribe to hardiness, but I rather to rashness in him. As this king upon a time was in his disport of hunting: suddenly word came to him, that Cenourona (a City in Normandy) was besieged. The King without longer tarrying or advisement, took the straight way toward the sea side, sending to his lords, that they should follow after. They being come to his presence, advised him to stay, till the time his people were assembled, but he would not be stayed: saying, that such as him loved (he knew) would follow him shortly, and so went to take ship.
