Note 1390 — Chapter XV · THE NORMAN INVASION AND THE CAMPAIGN OF HASTINGS.[1055] (continued 2)
Reading edition
Will. Pict. 134. “Exardentes Normanni, et circumvenientes millia aliquot insequuta se, momento deleverunt ea, ut ne quidem unus superesset.” But Guy (463) seems to include other parts of the army also;
“Post illum reliqui feriunt ad corda reversi;
Vires assumunt rejiciendo metum.
Ut stipulæ flammis pereunt spirantibus auris,
Sic a Francigenis, Anglica turba, ruis.”
