Note 1088 — Chapter VI · THE DANISH KINGS IN ENGLAND.[818] 1017–1042. (continued 2)
Reading edition
The letter is given at length in the Encomium Emmæ, iii. 3. The letter is confessedly a forgery of Harold; it may very likely be a pure invention of the Encomiast; still anything professing to be a private letter, as distinguished from a legal document, is a curiosity at this stage of English history.
