But there were certain difficulties. There was no doubt that Eadgyth had worn a veil, but whether simply as a disguise or a professed nun was open to argument; so a solemn assembly was called by Anselm to hear evidence on the subject. The decision it came to was that she was not a nun, and, to use Mr.
Now Eadgyth was well skilled in this work, and thereat she must needs say that she would work me a flag for our ship, if the jarl would plan one. So it seems to me now that that evening was very pleasant, for they planned and shaped and began a flag whereon was drawn by the jarl a white falcon like the one he had given to me, and that was my thought, and it pleased him, as I think.
When you return I would have you thank her for her care of my brother and I would thank you also, Jarl, for your care of him." Now Ingvar reddened a little, but not with anger, for he saw that I had spoken at least no ill of him to Eadgyth. "Nay, lady," he answered; "Halfden and Hubba and Osritha have to be thanked if any thanks need be to us for caring for Jarl Lodbrok's preserver.
I, too, when the coming of the Danes seemed a thing that might be any day, thought it well that Eadgyth should rather be inland at Hoxne, whence flight southward could be made in good time, than at Reedham, where the first landing might well be looked for.
Well, too, did my mother and Eadgyth like the courtly ways of the jarl, who was ever ready to tell them of the life in his household, and of the daughter, Osritha, who was its mistress since her mother died but a few years since, and her two elder sisters had been married to chiefs of their own land.
His victory over the Slaves at Lenzen made the north-eastern frontiers of Germany secure. Eadgyth, the daughter of Edward, king of England, was given in marriage to his eldest son, Otto. Henry now felt himself strong enough to throw off the Hungarian yoke, and answered with defiance their demand for the annual tribute.
"Where is Hubba?" I asked, wondering. "He is not far from us. He will come when I need his help." "Then we need not meet," I said; "I am in the centre." Now we both returned to our places, and again Eadmund, after I had told him that we must fight, asked me to stand out. "For," said he, "you are in her father's place to Eadgyth."
But I feared, and two days before the wedding went to Harleston, where the king was, and urged him to have forces along the great wall we call Woden's Dyke even yet. "Let us see your wedding first, Wulfric," he said. "Eadgyth would be sorely grieved if I were not there."
As he went thither, he caught sight of Eadgyth in her veil, and imagined that he was too late, for even he, bad as he was, would not care to press his suit, especially as it was prompted by policy, not by love, and a marriage with a nun would be counted illegal and so would fail to have the result he desired. This took place in 1093.
