Note 1014 — Chapter IX · THE REIGN OF EADWARD FROM THE RETURN OF GODWINE TO THE DEATH OF EADWARD THE ÆTHELING.[921] 1052–1057.
Reading edition
Chron. Petrib. 1052. “And se Cyng geaf þære Hlæfdian eall þæt heo ær ahte.” Chron. Ab. “And Godwine Eorl and Harold and seo Cwen [This title is unusual, but not unique] sæton on heora áre.” She had just before come in incidentally in the list of Godwine’s family; “his sunum ... and his wife and his dehter.” Flor. Wig. “Filiam quoque Ducis, Eadgitham Reginam, digniter Rex recepit et pristinæ dignitati restituit.” The Biographer (406) of course waxes eloquent; “Modico exinde interfluente tempore mittitur æquè regio, ut par erat, apparatu ad monasterium Wiltunense [on this confusion see p. 156] et [I omit metaphors about the sun, &c.] reducitur Regina, ejusdem Ducis filia, ad thalamum Regis.” This last expression should be noticed, and compared with the account in R. Wendover.
