Note 858 — Chapter XIII · THE NEGOTIATIONS OF DUKE WILLIAM.[752] January–August, 1066.
Reading edition
Roman de Rou, 11278;
“Nus hoem ne poeit altre entendre
Parole oïr ne raison rendre.”
Henry of Huntingdon (M. H. B. 761 E), in his abridged narrative, cuts the matter far too short. I do not remember any other writer who mentions the trick of William Fitz-Osbern.
