Note 109 — PART I.
Reading edition
Ingram’s Edit. of the Saxon Chronicle, 1823, p. 302. See also Wharton’s Anglia Sacra, tom. i. p. 264—and Gervase, in Leland’s Collectanea de Rebus Britannicis (Hearne’s Edit.), tom. i. p. 263. Dr. Lingard, in his History of England, vol. ii. p. 44 of 2d edit., states on the authority of Ordericus Vitalis, etc., the date of Lanfranc’s death as 1079, which, if correct, and not a mere misprint, would only add to the force of the argument in the text.
