Note 1327 — Chapter X · THE REIGN OF EADWARD FROM THE DEATH OF THE ÆTHELING TO THE DEATH OF THE KING.[1258] 1057–1066.
Reading edition
Chron. Petrib. 1061. “And on þam sylfan geare forðferde Wulfric abbod æt Sc̃e Augustine innon þære Easter wucan on xiv. Kal. Mai.” It is remarkable how many eminent persons—Earl Godwine, Archbishop Cynesige, and King Eadward himself are the most remarkable—died while the Witan were actually sitting, to the great convenience of those who had to elect their successors.
