Transaction Anon.LiberEliensis  LE II.34 / LÆ 46   Ingulf 3 seized Brandon from Ely. 'But in demonstration of the power of God and the virtue of the blessed virgin Æthelthryth, he took nothing of food or drink from that day on which he usurped the property of the church, for his heart burst at once. ... After his death, his wife and sons took possession of the land in similar manner, but just as they did not honour God and did not save their souls, so the divine vengeance burst upon them and they all perished miserably within a year.
