Reading edition
Chron. Wig. “And man brohte his heafod to Glewcestre [“Glawornam ad Regem” Fl. Wig.] on Twelftan ǽfen.” William of Malmesbury (ii. 196) makes Harold the agent, which is quite possible, but he mixes the matter up in a strange way with the fate of Gruffydd of North Wales, ten years later. “Haroldum West-Saxonum [Comitem], filium Godwini, qui duos fratres Reges Walensium Ris et Grifinum sollertiâ suâ in mortem egerit.” William, perhaps pardonably, confounds the two Gruffydds.
