Note 1345 — Chapter XV · THE NORMAN INVASION AND THE CAMPAIGN OF HASTINGS.[1055] (continued 2)

Roman de Rou, 13093;

“Li quens de Flandres m’a traï;

Mult fis ke fol ke jel’ créï,

Kar par son brief m’aveit mandé,

Et par messaige asséuré

Ke Willame ne porreit mie

Aveir si grant chevalerie.”

I can throw no more light on these dealings of Baldwin with Harold than I can upon his other no less mysterious dealings with William. See above, p. 312, and Appendix W.
