Reading edition
Giraldus (Angl. Sacr. ii. 452), in his very curious remarks on the right way to carry on a Welsh war, enlarges on the necessity of being prepared for poor fare. The Marchers are “Gens ... cibo potuque non delicata, tam Cerere quam Baccho caussis urgentibus abstinere parata.” It was now no doubt that Harold showed that power of enduring “infinitos labores, vigilias, et inediam,” of which the Biographer had spoken, p. 409. See above, p. 38.
