Reading edition
Will. Pict. 109. “Is [Conanus] in virum ferocissimum adultus, a tutelâ diu toleratâ liber, capto Eudone patruo suo, atque vinculis ergastularibus mancipato, provinciæ, quam dono paterno accepit, magnâ cum truculentiâ dominari cœpit.” William of Malmesbury (iii. 236) looks on him with more favour; “Viridis juventâ et præcellens robore, Eudonem patruum vinxerat, multa egregia fecerat.”
