Note 62 — PART II HISTORICAL STUDIES
Reading edition
Baudri describes the English as 'consertos',62 and the Brevis Relatio as 'spissum agmen'. Bishop Guy writes of the 'spissum nemus Angligenarum', and styles them 'densissima turba'; Henry of Huntingdon, we saw, tells us that they were arranged 'in una acie strictissime', and were thus 'impenetrabiles Normannis'.
