Note 1117 — 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
See vol. i. p. 587. Sim. Dun. X Scriptt. 81. “Nepos Aldredi Comitis Comes Waltheof, erat enim filius filiæ illius.” Simeon (ib. 82) seems to imply that Waltheof held Bernicia under his father (“filio suo Waltheofo comitatum Northymbrorum dedit”); but he clearly was not in possession in 1065. See Simeon’s own account, X Scriptt. 204. On the question whether he received Northamptonshire on his father’s death or ten years later, see Appendix G.
