Note 1526 — Chapter X · THE REIGN OF EADWARD FROM THE DEATH OF THE ÆTHELING TO THE DEATH OF THE KING.[1258] 1057–1066. (continued 2)

The consecration “on Cyldamæsse dæg” is asserted by all three Chronicles, by Florence, and by William of Malmesbury. “Lét halgian” is the phrase of Abingdon and Worcester; so Florence, “cum magnâ gloriâ dedicari fecit,” and William of Malmesbury, “dedicari præcepit.” The action of Eadgyth comes from Æthelred, 399; “Rex, quantùm valetudo permittebat, favebat officio, sed Regina, omnia disponens, omnia procurans, sollicita de omnibus, intenta omnibus, utriusque vicem implevit.”
