Note 1208 — Chapter IX · THE REIGN OF EADWARD FROM THE RETURN OF GODWINE TO THE DEATH OF EADWARD THE ÆTHELING.[921] 1052–1057. (continued 2)
Reading edition
William, strangely confounding his dates, fancies that Godwine died during Hermann’s absence at Saint Omer, and that Hermann was more likely to gain his point after Godwine’s death. He is followed by R. Higden, XV Scriptt. ii. 281, the passage so oddly perverted by Thierry. See above, p. 345.
