Reading edition
Fl. Wig. 1063. “Frater suus Comes Tostinus, ut Rex mandârat, cum equestri occurrit exercitu.” The Worcester Chronicle says, “Tostig fór mid landferde ongean.” “Landferd” is here opposed to Harold’s fleet. Tostig had probably troops of both kinds in his army, but the “equestris exercitus” implies that some were Housecarls.
