Note 1405 — Chapter X · THE REIGN OF EADWARD FROM THE DEATH OF THE ÆTHELING TO THE DEATH OF THE KING.[1258] 1057–1066.
Reading edition
The Peterborough Chronicler is almost startling in his terse brevity; “And þæt folc heom gislodon and to bugon, and foron syððan to, and ofslogon heora cyng Griffin and brohton Harolde his heafod.” By John of Salisbury’s time it was forgotten that Gruffydd was killed by his own people; with him Harold “Reges cepit et capita eorum Regi qui eum miserat præsentavit” (iv. 18). The death of Gruffydd had however been decreed in the Christmas Gemót. See above, p. 468.
