Dover Castle. The king at length outlawed Godwine with his 5
sons—Godwine, wishing to make peace with the king (after he had twice led an army
against the king, and on the second occasion had escaped from him), fleeing secretly on
the appointed day. King Eadweard received with great honour Duke William Bastard of
Normandy, who was coming to him in England, and he sent him back to his own land, having
been presented with many gifts.
In the 1052nd year
Emma, also known as Ælfgifu, formerly queen of the English, died at Winchester. King
Eadweard and Earl Godwine and his sons were reconciled with each other after Godwine and
his sons recovered their former dignities; and almost all Normans are expelled from
England. Robert, archbishop of Canterbury, scarcely escaping with his household,
withdrew from England.
In the 1053rd year the head of
Rhys, brother of Gruffudd, king of the Welsh, was brought to King Eadweard at Gloucester
on the eve of Epiphany. On the 2nd day of Easter, Earl
Godwine, losing the power of speech while at table beside the king, was thereupon
carried out by his sons to the king’s chamber; and on the 5th day after this his life departed. His son Harold succeeded him in his
earldom, and Harold’s earldom was granted to Ælfgar son of Earl Leofric.
In the
1054th year Siward, earl of the Northumbrians, entering
Scotland with a great army at the command of King Eadweard, engaged in battle with Mac
Bethad, king of the Scots, and put him to flight, and—as the king had instructed—set up
Máel Coluim as king. King Eadweard sent Ealdred, bishop of Worcester, to the emperor so
that he might bring back with him his father’s brother’s son, Eadweard, who had been in
exile in Hungary.
In the 1055th year Siward, earl
of the Northumbrians, died at York, whose earldom was granted to Tostig, brother of Earl
Harold. Not long afterwards Ælfgar son of Leofric, although blameless, was outlawed by
King Eadweard. He soon made for Ireland and, having procured 18 pirate ships, he at
length regained his earldom—supported greatly by the help of Gruffudd, king of the
Welsh—having previously burnt the city of Hereford and the monastery of St Æthelberht,
king and martyr, and killed some of the canons, and 400 or more others at that place.
¶Lulach reigned for four-and-a-half months. Unlucky Lulach was king for three months.
In the 1056th year the emperor
Henry died; his son Henry succeeded him. Æthelstan, of sacred memory, bishop of
Hereford, died; Leofgar, Earl Harold’s chaplain, succeeded him. He was killed in the
same year, with his clerks and many others, by Gruffudd, king of the Welsh. Æthelric,
bishop of Durham, giving up the bishopric of his own accord, returned to his monastery
of Peterborough, and there he finished his life; his brother Æthelwine succeeded him.
¶Máel Coluim son of Donnchad received the kingdom of
Scotland by hereditary right.
In the 1057th year Eadweard the
ætheling, son of King Eadmund Ironside, who the king had sent for in Hungary so that he
might take his place as king after him, died in London. Earl Leofric, of good memory,
son of Earl Leofwine, who from his patrimony, with his wife Godgifu, built the convent
of Coventry, where he was buried; his son Ælfgar succeeded him.
In the 1058th year Earl Ælfgar was outlawed by King Eadweard for a
second time; but by force he recovered his earldom, with the assistance of Gruffudd,
king of the Welsh, and a Norwegian fleet. Ealdred of Worcester, crossing by sea, set out
for Jerusalem via Hungary.
In the 1059th year
Nicholas, bishop of the city of Florence, is elected pope, and Benedict is cast
out.
In the 1060th year Henry king of the French
died; his son Philip succeeded him. Cynesige archbishop of York died; Ealdred, bishop of
Worcester, succeeded him; and the prelacy of Hereford was given to
