Note 703 — Chapter XII · THE LATER REIGN OF WILLIAM IN NORMANDY.[159] 1051–1066. (continued 3)
Reading edition
Will. Pict. 109. “Conani in tantum jam temeritas crevit, ut quo die terminos Normanniæ aggrederetur denuntiare non formidaret.” This sort of bravado was chivalrous heroism in William; it is mere rashness and insolence in Conan.
