Note 2 — Chapter IX
Edgar Taylor translation
Benoit de Sainte-More's account is somewhat different. He in particular denies that Harold was anointed at all, or had any title but his own usurpation.
Heraut de coveitise espris, Senz autre conseil qui'n fust pris, Saisi le reigne demaneis; Parjurez e faus se fist reis, Eissi, senz icele unction, E senz cele sacration, Qu'en deit faire à rei saintement Le jor de son coronement.
In this part of his chronicle he relates an expedition by Harold against 'li Galeis' and 'reis Griffins, qui d'eus ert sire.'
——Heraut l'ocist, Sa femme Aldit saisi e prist, Qui fille ert del bon conte Algar.
