Note 1582 — Chapter XVI · THE INTERREGNUM.[1503] October 15–December 25, 1066.
Reading edition
Ib. 693;
“Natu majores, omni levitate repulsâ,
Aggregat.”
The “natu majores” may of course be simply the “yldestan þegnas” (see vol. i. p. 78), but here in London we cannot help thinking of Aldermen in the later sense.
