Note 1488 — Chapter X · THE REIGN OF EADWARD FROM THE DEATH OF THE ÆTHELING TO THE DEATH OF THE KING.[1258] 1057–1066. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Flor. Wig. “Post hæc Rex Eadwardus paullatim ægrotare cœpit.” Vita Eadw. 423. “Quo dolore decidens in morbum, ab eâ die usque in diem mortis suæ ægrum trahebat animum.” Will. Malms. iii. 252. “Quare ex animi ægritudine majorem valetudinem corporis contrahens, non multo post decessit.” The hagiographers do not feel called on to enlarge on the real cause of the death of their hero—baffled wrath against his own people.
