Note 1180 — 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 Annales Cambriæ has “Magnus filius Haraldi vastavit regionem Anglorum, auxiliante Grifino Rege Britonum.” The Brut gives him the strange description, “Magnus uab Heralt, brenhin Germania” which I do not understand. Was he Ælfgar’s Irish ally, defrauded of his pay? The entry the year before, about waiting at Chester, looks like it.
