defraud him of it § 22. Most of the Lords after this great Defeat in the North came in upon Publick Faith given them and were conducted to Barkamstead by the Abbot Frederick Where some write that the King again took a personal Oath before the Archbishop Lanfranc and the Lords to observe the Antient Laws of the Realm Established by his Noble Predecessors the Kings of England and especially those of Saint Edward And all the Lords upon their Oath and submission were then reconciled unto him and thereupon held themselves quiet for a Time But whether it were that they found not their Entertainment such as they expected or that they had received Intelligence of new Hopes from abroad or that Edgar who was still in Scotland had sollicited them upon Promise of fresh Succours to aid him or howsoever it was many of them again Conspired contrary to their Oaths and went out The Earl Edwin making towards Scotland was Murthered by his own People by the way The Earls Morcar and Hereward betook them to the Isle of Ely meaning to make good that Place for that Winter whither also came the Earl Siward and the Bishop of Durham out of Scotland But the King who was no Time giver to growing Dangers beset all the Isle with flat Boats on the East and made a Bridge of a Mile long on the West and safely brought in his People upon the Enemy who seeing themselves surprised yielded them all to the King's Mercy Except Hereward a man of great Valour and Courage who with his Souldiers made a Retreat through the Fenns and Escaped into Scotland The Rest were sent to divers Prisons where they died or remayned during the King's Life § 23. We find that those Lords who remained Loyal upon their last Submission were all imployed and well graced by the King As Edric the Forrester that was the first Revolter in his Reign was held in especial Favour and Trust near about him Gospatric was made Earl of Northumberland and sent against Malcolm who in this time takes Advantage of subdue the Countries of Tisdall Cleveland and Cumberland Waltheof the Son of the Earl Siward he so highly Estemeed as he Married him to his Niece Iudith Though he were a Principal Actor in this last Commotion and in the Defence of the City of York against him and is said to have stricken off the Heads of divers Normans one by one as they entred upon a Breach to the great Admiration of all Men By which Valour of his he ransomed the Offence he had made and grew to that great Grace with the King who therein shewed a Noble and Magnanimous Nature to honour Vertue even in his Enemies § 24. And now there rested nothing for the general Quieting of the Kingdom but only the Suppression of Malcolm King of Scots the greatest Kindlefire of all these Conspiracies in the North parts and the only Fefuge for all that were discontented and mutinous in this State Against him the King led such mighty Forces both by Sea and Land as Malcolm rather then to adventure Battle was content to make his Peace and not only to give up Hostages for securing the same but also to do him Homage for the Kingdom of Scotland And so all his Home-Wars were ended Regni Anno 6. Saving only in Anno 15. he levied a Puissant Army and subdued Wales which Business held him not long For the Rest of his Government here he had no more to do here with the Sword though he had it always abroad during his whole Reign § 25. Now for the Doubt he might have of the great Men of the Kingdom who by Power or Love were aptest to disturb his Government it was in this sort taken away First by the Submission of Edgar Atheling who Anno 7. was restored into Grace and had a fair Maintenance which held him ever after quiet Then by those whom the Prisons kept from Attempting any more And lastly by the Revealing of a new Conspiracy contrived at a Marriage between Ralph de Waher Earl of Norfolk and Suffolk and his new Kinswoman the Sister of Roger the Young Earl of Hereford At which Solemnization in their Banquetting and Jollity the two Earls Normans with Waltheof and divers English Plotted to call in the Danes again and to make away the King Upon which Discovery they were all apprehended except the Earl of Norfolk who fled the Land and died some in Prison and some on the Scaffold § 26. The The Danes being on the Coasts with 200 Sail hearing how their Confederates had sped and the great Preparations the King had made after some spoils taken on the Coast of England and Flanders returned home and never after infested this Kingdom Though in Anno 20 of this King there was a great Rumour of their fresh Preparations for a new Invasion which made him entertain a great number of Frenchmen besides Normans which he brought into England about Harvest and held the most part of them all the Winter to the great Charge of the Kingdom But it came to nothing For the Wind held so long against the Danish Navy consisting of about 1000 Sail as it overthrew their intended Action and freed both the King and his Successors from future Fears that way for ever after § 27. The Forein Wars he had were all about his Dominions in France and raised by his own Son Robert whom he had left his Leiutenant Governour of the Dutchy of Normandy and the County of Maine Where by his Fathers Absence tasteing the Glory of Command he grew to assume into his own Power the Soveraign Rule of the Province caused the Barons there to do him Homage as Duke not as Leiutenant and put himself wholly under the Protection of the King of France who was not a little pleased to apprehend so good an Occasion to foster a Division in the House of so great and near a Neighbour who was now grown fearful and dangerous to all the Princes about him and therefore spared for uo Cost to set forward this Work The King understanding the Fire thus Kindled in his own House whilest he laboured to quench that himself had made in Others hasts with his Forces into Normandy to have surprised his Son Who advertised of his Coming furnished with 2000. Men at Arms by the King of France put himself in Ambush where his Father should pass and set upon him so Fiercely as he Defeited most of his People and in the Press happened to encounter with himself whom he unhorsed and wounded in the Arms with his Lance. But perceiving by his Voice it was his Father he hasted to lift him up again to his Horse craving most humble Pardon for his Offence which the King seeing in what Case he was easily granted and received him into Grace with whom and with his Son William who was likewise hurt in the Skirmish he retired to Roan and after being there cured of his Hurt returned again into England §
