Reading edition
Vita Eadw. 423. “At Deo dilectus Rex, quum Ducem suum tutare non posset, gratiâ suâ multipliciter donatum, mœrens nimium quod in hanc impotentiam deciderit, à se dimisit.” The Chronicles, by simply saying “fór ofer sæ,” or something to that effect, distinctly favour the Biographer’s account.
