"And I see them too; go and warn Tosti, Sexwulf, Ulf and Frithgift, and be sure that thou keepest out of the fen thyself." "Only thou wilt bring father back home with thee?" "By God's help, my child." At this moment a numerous and warlike band of Normans emerged from the woods, in full view, and paused on the edge of the Swamp. "Now they come forth to their doom.
And there were Sexwulf and Ulf, Tosti and Elfwold, Ernulph and Ordgar, Oslac and Osgood, Wulfsy and Ringulph, Frithgist and Wulfgar men whose names sounded rough and uncouth in Norman ears, but were familiar enough to the natives. The whole party having assembled, Wilfred, as a consequence of his rank, spoke first and opened the debate.
Lights were seen, the doors opened, two or three sunburnt faces appeared in the doorway. "Sexwulf, I bring you a guest; look at him dost thou know him?" "It is our young lord!"
"What thinkest thou, Sexwulf, of this most outlandish wedding?" "What can I think, Ulf, but that the good widow has lost her senses through grief at the death of her lord, the noble Edmund, else would the dove never mate the black crow." "Yea, she was pale as death as she entered the church." "Well she may be; she liketh not the match, only she would save the estates for her boy's sake."
Let those who would ride to the Camp of Refuge hold up their hands on high." "Ulf, Sexwulf, Tosti, Wulfgar, Ordgar," and so Wilfred went on counting all the younger and more impetuous spirits on his side, his heart swelling with pardonable pride, as he thought he should not go alone, or as a mere fugitive, to the help of the patriotic Hereward.
The See of Hereford properly owes its origin to that of Lichfield, as Sexwulf, Bishop of that diocese, placed at Hereford Putta, Bishop of Rochester, when his cathedral was destroyed by the Mercian King Ethelred. From Bede we learn that in 668 A.D. Putta died, and that one Tyrhtel succeeded him, and was followed by Torhtere.
