Reading edition
Will. Pict. u. s. “Dux, nolens incommoda eorum qui secum deditionaliter agere cœperant, pretium dedit restituendarum ædium, aliaque amissa recompensavit.” Guy, on the other hand (607), uses words which might be understood as meaning that William expelled the English inhabitants and planted a Norman colony;
“Clavibus acceptis, Rex intrans mœnia castri,
Præcipit Angligenis evacuare domos.
Hos introduxit per quos sibi regna subegit,
Unumquemque suum misit ad hospitium.”
Certainly Domesday shows singularly few English owners at Dover, but this is more likely to be owing to the severe administration of Odo than to any acts of William at this time. And Guy perhaps only meant that William quartered his sick soldiers on the inhabitants.
