'Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us." And they slept. On the morrow before the altar of St. Frideswide, the king and Edric had their places in the choir.
Were they struggling against William at Stafford, or helping Edric the Wild and his Welshmen to besiege Chester? Probably they were aiding the insurrection, if not at these two points, still at some other of their great earldoms of Mercia and Chester. They seemed to triumph for a while: during the autumn of 1069 the greater part of England seemed lost to William.
We hear of an appointment which causes us much apprehension. The king Ethelred has appointed Edric Streorn ealdorman of Mercia; we are in his district, and fear it may bode evil to us all. Edmund is beside himself with rage; he vows that if Edric appears in these woods he will slay him as he would a wolf. May 1008.
"It shall be duly considered and delivered to thee; and in consideration of that fact, I think, my lord, you cannot, as a Christian man, refuse to be reconciled." "O Edmund, my brother, be merciful!" said Elgitha. "I yield," said Edmund, "but not tonight," he said, as Edric stretched out his hand, reddened by many a dark deed of murder; "tomorrow, before God's altar. I shall be at St.
And to this it was owing that many, even the ecclesiastical constitutions, and not a few of the ordinary evidences of the land, were written in the language of the country. This example of written laws being given by Ethelbert, it was followed by his successors, Edric and Lothaire.
I saw at once that the prince was delirious; the fever, which I had marked in his eyes and manner, but which he struggled against, had at length overcome his brave spirit. Just as I entered the room, bearing my torch, he sprang out of bed. "There is a snake under my pillow." I tried to soothe him. "It is Edric; he is turned into a snake, and is trying to sting me. Kill him! kill him!"
It was no very secret talk among some of us that Edric the earl had made peace sooner than might have been, but that angered Eadmund and the king sorely if so much were even hinted. "Then you will indeed help us?" said Eadmund, for Olaf had accepted the place he had named for him as it were. "I have a debt to England that I can never repay," answered the king gravely.
"Forget not that he is your father." "We are wasting time," said the king. "Edric, what is your answer to this accusation?" "That when the army disbanded I went on pilgrimage to the shrine of St. Joseph at Glastonbury, and can produce, in the time requisite for a messenger to go and return, an attestation to that effect.
"I could not discover that, but I think there must have been some secret door. Edric had perhaps lived in the Place before; he once resided in Oxenford." "He did, and in that very house," said Herstan. "I was here at the time when he assassinated Sigeferth and Morcar in the banqueting hall." "That may supply a clue, I know no other possible one." "But how, then, did he get your dagger?"
He was obliged, by the necessity of his affairs, to make a voyage to Denmark; but, returning soon after, he continued his depredations along the southern coast. He even broke into the counties of Dorset, Wilts, and Somerset, where an army was assembled against him, under the command of Prince Edmund and Duke Edric.
