Scholarly Info
Description Harold 3’s sons [Anonymi 10018] came unexpectedly from Ireland with a naval force into the mouth of the Avon, and ravaged all over that district. Then they went to Bristol and meant to take the city by storm but the citizens fought against them fiercely. And when they could not get anything out of the city, they went to their ships with what they had won by plunder, and so went to Somerset and landed there. And Eadnoth 17, the staller, fought against them and was killed there, and many good men on both sides. And those who survived went away.
