Note 518 — Chapter XII · THE LATER REIGN OF WILLIAM IN NORMANDY.[159] 1051–1066. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Ib. “Ubi inhiando dum aptaret ad bellum exercitum, dolore dysenteriæ morbis percussus reversus est infirmus. Ex quâ infirmitate mortuus est relinquens terrenum regnum.” Directly after we read, “Successit in regno Gosfredus.” So that “regnum” in the former entry is not a mere figure of speech, strange as is the application of the word to the dominions of a Duke of Aquitaine.
