Note 587 — Chapter VIII · THE KINGDOM OF SCOTIA.

Simeon of Durham says of Earl Eadulf, ‘qui postmodum, regnante Eadwardo, occisus est a Siwardo, qui post illum totius Northanhymbrorum provinciæ, hoc est, ab Humbra usque ad Tweodam suscepit comitatum.’ The Saxon Chronicle, however, says, under 1041, ‘In this year Harthecnut betrayed Earl Eadulf while under his safeguard, and he was then a belier of his pledge,’ and has no hint of Siward being concerned in his death, but mentions Earl Siward two years after, in the first year of King Eadward.
