Let's see where were we? Cheyenne Crossing at 2 a.m., water at Riddle Creek, coal at Brockton " The schedule was completed when Frisbie came back to say that the 1016, with the superintendent's car attached, was waiting on track Six.
A compromise was agreed to in 1016, by which Edmund reigned over the region south of the Thames; but very shortly afterwards he was murdered at the instigation of Edric, a traitor, who was the Judas Iscariot of his time. Canute, or "Knut," now became the first Danish king of England.
The chronicler gave the name of the Saxon who thus suffered untimely decapitation as Hosmer. I told the story and Freeman at once insisted that it should be confirmed. He sent his daughter to the library, who returned bearing a huge tome containing the chronicle of Florence of Worcester. Freeman turned at once to the date, 1016, and there was the passage in the quaint mediaeval Latin.
Possibly the unsettled state of the kingdom may have caused the abbey to be vacant for three years. At the Battle of Assendun, 1016, some of the monks of Ely, as well as Ednod, Bishop of Dorchester, and the Abbot of Ramsey, were slain. The Ely monks took with them to the camp the relics of S. Wendreda, which were there lost and never recovered.
Elsin died in a good old age, "after a life of great sanctity and observance of the commandments of God, and after the acquisition of much honour and great possessions to the church." His death took place, according to the "Liber Eliensis," in King Ethelred's time that is, not later than 1016. Wharton gives 1019 as the date.
Edric, who is steeped in stratagems and deceit, plotted against his life again and again, whereupon Edmund broke up the camp in indignation, and took a separate course with all the warriors who would follow his standard. Edric took the rest, went down to the seacoast, seduced the crews of forty ships, and then joined Canute with his whole forces. Alas! there seems no hope now. Epiphany, 1016.
PINCKNEY. There is a real distinction between the Northern and Southern interests. North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, in their rice and indigo, had a peculiar interest which might be sacrificed. p. 1016. FRIDAY, July 6, 1787. Mr. PINCKNEY thought the blacks ought to stand on an equality with the whites; but would agree to the ratio settled by Congress. p. 1039. MONDAY, July 9, 1787. Mr.
It was well on in A.D. 1016 that Knut gained his last victory, at Ashdon, in Essex, where the earth pyramids and antique church near by still testify the thankful piety of Knut, or, at lowest his joy at having won instead of lost and perished, as he was near doing there.
The desertion of Eadric to Cnut as soon as he appeared off the coast threw open England to his arms; Wessex and Mercia submitted to him; and though the loyalty of London enabled Eadmund, when his father's death raised him in 1016 to the throne, to struggle bravely for a few months against the Danes, a decisive overthrow at Assandun and a treaty of partition which this wrested from him at Olney were soon followed by the young king's death.
Thus for a short time the Anglo-Saxon people had at once a Danish and a Saxon monarch. Edmund died in 1016 and after his death Canute became sole ruler. He ruled wisely. He determined to make his Anglo-Saxon subjects forget that he was a foreign conqueror.
