Many English hurried after Godwine 51 into exile, some sent messages that they were ready, should he want to return, to receive his forcibly in the country, to fight for him, and, if need be, they were willing to die for him as well. And this was proclaimed not secretly or privily but openly and publicly, and not by a few only but by almost all the natives of the country [of England]. |
