Reading edition
Wid. Amb. 625;
“Guincestram misit, mandat primatibus urbis,
Ut faciunt alii, ferre tributa sibi.
Hanc Regina tenet Regis de dote prioris
Hetguardi: quare dedecus esse putat
Sic sibi concessam si vadit tollere sedem;
Solum vectigal postulat atque fidem.”
The embassy to Winchester is not mentioned by William of Poitiers.
