Note 1222 — 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
The death of the Emperor Henry the third is recorded in the Abingdon Chronicle under 1056, under the name of Cona, that is, of course, Conrad. The mistake in the name is odd, but there is no need to have recourse to Mr. Thorpe’s strange conjecture, A. S. Chronicles, ii. p. 159. The Peterborough Chronicle has a Latin entry with the true name “Henricus.”
