Note 688 — Chapter XII · THE LATER REIGN OF WILLIAM IN NORMANDY.[159] 1051–1066. (continued 3)
Reading edition
The fullest accounts are in William of Poitiers (109) and the Tapestry (pll. 4–6), but it is not easy to reconcile the two. The other accounts are very short. Wace (10814) makes Harold accompany William in three or four expeditions;
“Ne sai de veir treiz feiz u quatre,
Quant as Bretuns se dut combatre.”
This, as we shall see, is quite possible. See Appendix T.
