If he was archbishop for twenty years, as Foxe states at p. 103, then he was appointed a.d. 968 ; or if he died' in the ninth year of Egelred, then he was appointed a.d. 900, in the seventh year of Edgar's reign. Some date his appointment a. d. 959, the first year of Edgar, wliich makes him archbishop at least twenty-seven years. (See the notes in this Appendix on pp.50, 51.)

Page 80, note (1).]— There are plenty of authorities for Foxe's statement in the text respecting the sons of Edmimd Ironside; see Hoveden, Brompton, Ilastal's Chronicle, Fabian, Grafton, &c. But William of Malmesbury simply says— ♦' Filii ejus [Edmundi] Edwius et Edwardus missi ad regem Suevorum ut perimerentur : sed miseratione ejus conservati Hunorum regem petierunt; ubi dum bcnigne aliquo tempore habiti essent, major diem obiit, minor Rcginze sororem Agatham in matrimonium accepit." (Scriptores post Bedam, p.^73.) And afterwards he says: — " Rex Edwardus pronus in senium, . . . misit ad Regem Hunorum, ut fiiium fratris Edmundi Edwardum cum omni familia sua mitteret." (Ibid. p. 93.) Subsequent writers in their attempts to fill in the names, have made blunders. For example, the contemporary king of Sweden was named Olave (L'Art de V^r.), who is said to have been lialf-brother to Canute (Speed). His being named " Suanus" probably arose from the circum- stance of the u in his patronymic " Suavus" (of Sweden) being taken for an n : whence Olave might be called "rex Suanus," or "rex Suanorum ;" and the combination of the two would give, " Suanus, king of Sweden." It is remark- able that Foxe in the next page, line 5, caUs him " Suanus, king of Denmark," where be iscopymg Fabian and Grafton, who cite " Guido and others." (See vol. 1. p. 31/, note (3).) This variation may be explained by the circumstance

related in Brompton (p. 907), that Walgar, Canute's domestic, was cliarged to carry the princes into Denmark ; but that, conscious of his master's designs, instead of carrying them into Denmark he conducted tliem to the king of Stveden, who, to avoid quarrelling with Canute, passed them forward to his kins- man, the king of Hungary. — Again, Salomon, king of Hungary, did indeed in A.D. 10G3 marrySophia, sisterof the emperor Henry IV,, and thus became brother- in-law to that emperor; but that was almost fifty years too late for the present purpose. It is no less true, however, that Stephen, the first king of Hungary, in A.D. 1008 married Gisela, sister of the emperor Henry II. : whence, Pape- broche and Lingard would have us here substitute the name of Stephen for Salomon. It is worthy of remark, however, that Fordun in his Scoti-chronicon says, that Stephen was called Salomon before his baptism, which may in some degree vindicate the introduction of that name here, and also may have led to the error of introducing Henry IV., Stephen being confounded with the other Salomon. (Scoti-chron. lib. vi. capp. 20, 22.) — Who Agatha was is not clear, for her name does not appear among the daughters or sisters of any of the empe- rors of this period, and very likely she was only a daughter of some gervianus of Stephen or his queen. (See the note on p. 83.)

Page 81, line 7. " Sua7ius, king of Denmark, S(c.~\ — Here again Foxe has Fabian and Grafton for authorities. The statement however seems incorrect, as we nowhere read in the ancient chronicles that Canute had a brother " Sua- nus." This looks like a patch of Danish history, relating Canute's accession to the throne of Denmark in consequence of his father Swanus's death. Danish history informs us that he had a younger brother Harold, who was left Regent of Denmark when Swanus and Canute first went to England ; and that on the death of Swanus he attempted to seize the throne of Denmark ; but that Canute immediately went over and settled matters in Denmark, before he ventured to encounter the English (L'Art de Ver.). The statement in the text is probably only a variation of this story. The Saxon Chronicle says, that Canute sent for Emma Kal. August, a.d. 1017, and agreed to Edgar's laws A. D. 1018.
Page 81, line 17.] — The Saxon Chronicle dates Canute's visit to Rome A.D. 1031, and his death at Shaftesbury 11 Id. Nov. a.d. 1035.
Page 81, line 28. " Jgainst the Norwegians."] — Godwin and his Englisli troops distinguished themselves agauist the Fandals, a.d. 1019. (Malmesbnry, Huntingdon, Rapin.) The Saxon Chronicle dates the expedition against Norway a. d. 1028, and Godwun docs not appear to have been concerned in it.
Page 82, note (2). " Which son he had bghis wife, Hardicanitte's daughter."] It seems very improbable that Godwin should have married first the sister or daughter of Canute (see some lines higher), and then the daughter of Hardi- canute. But the reader must remember, that he has here before him the different version of Alfred's story which commenced with the preceding paragraph and continues to "losing all his lands in England" (next page). Consequently the Hardicanute of one writer may be identical with the Canute of auotlier.
Page 83, line 22 from the bottom.] — Gunilda, or Cunegimda, was married to the emperor Henry III. a.d. 1036; slie died two years after. Henry III. then married Agnes, by whom he had Henry IV., Sophia, and other children. Salomon, king of Hungary, married Sophia, and was thus brother to Henry IV. But it is plain that Agatha, who had brought Edward four children in a. d. 1057, could not have been a daughter of Henry IV. (See p. 80, note (1).)

" St. Benet's in Norfolk."] — A solitary place among the marshes, then called Cowholm and Calvcscroft, was given by a potty prince, named Horn, to some religious hermits a.d. 800, and destroyed by the Danes a.d. 870.

Page 87, note (1). "Son Wilmot, and grandson Ilacus."^ — Foxe, from I'olydore, reads "two sons, Biornon and Tostius;" but he clearly meant to adopt the reading in the text, because he refers to it next page, line 10, as preferable to I'olydore 's account.
Biornon was an earl, whom Swanus, one of Godwin's sons and father of llacus, had slain three or four years before this.

Page 89, line 21. " Mcrcenelega," " JFest-SaxencIega," " Danelega."~\ — Bishop Nicholson, in his letter to Dr. Wilkins, prefixed to his edition of the Saxon Laws, asserts, that this threefold division of the English laws is ima- ginary, and proceeded from the Norman interpreters mistaking the meaning of the word " lag^)" which they thought was the same with the word ley, or law ; whereas " laga" signifies region, territory, or province, as is plain (he says) from several places in the Saxon laws, wherein Danelaga means the same as among the Danes, or in the temtories of the Danes. (See pp. 53, 135, of Dr. Wilkins's Anglo-Saxon Laws.) He also says that the author of the Dialogue de Scaccario was the first that led the way in this error, lib. i. cap. 10. But Mr. Thorpe, in the Glossary appended to his Anglo-Saxon Laws v. Lagu, differs from the bishop, and maintains the other sense to be correct.
Page 92, note (2).] — Foxe inadvertently says " Gcrardus " in the text, instead of " Giraldus." " Giraldus Cambrensis, in his boke called Itinera- rius." — Fabian. The following extract from Higden's Polychronicon, sub. a, 1000, will illustrate the text: " Vult tamen Giraldus Cambrensis in suo Itine- rario, quod Haraldus multis confossus vulneribus oculoque sinistro sagitta pcrdito, ad partes Cestritfi victus evasit, ubi sancta conversatione vitam, ut crcditur, anachoriticam in cella Sancti Jacobi, juxta ecclesiam S.ancti Johannis, feliciter consummavit, quod ex ejus ultima confessione palam fuit."

" And placed in his room Peter, the kin/j of Hungary," &c.] — This fact is related by Benno, in a letter printed at fol. 39 of the " Fasci- culus " of Orthuinus Gratius, and of which Foxe translates a portion at page 124. Benno says that Henry sent Godfrey, duke of Lorraine, against Peter, who took him prisoner at the first onset. Henry does not appear to have retained any grudge against Peter, for (according to Lambert Schafnaburgensis) he made three expeditions into Hungary a.d. 1042, 1043, to restore him to his throne. Sylvester IL is said to have erected Hungary into a kingdom on purpose to be a balance against the Empire, which will account for the pope's sending to the king of Hungary on this occasion.

I*a royal ordiuance such as it did not enjoy under the Saxon kings, but which the church was everywhere struggling to obtain.

Page 110, line 13. " At his second coronation, for Radulph ivould not snfj'er the first coronation to stand, because it was done by the bishop of York, without his asscnt."'\ — Foxe has the authority of archbishop Parker for this statement, who seems, however, to have misapprehended the real state of the case. The occasion referred to was the coronation of Henry's second queen, at Windsor, .Ian. 30lh, a.d. 1121, at which the bishop of Salisbury claimed to do the honours, Windsor being in his "parish." Radulph resisted this, and (as too old for the exertion) appointed the bishop of Winchester to perform the ceremonial for him. As the archbishop was about to begin the service at the altar, he spied tlie king sitting with his crown on his head, on which he questioned him who had placed it there, as in his [the archbishop's] presence nobody else had a right todo it. The king said that inadvertently he had put it on himself: the archbishop then, taking it off, replaced it on his head. (Parker Antiq. Brit. Ilanovia?, IGO.j, p. 121, and Eadmer, pp. 136, 13?.) The real explanation of this afiair is, that our kings anciently wore their crowns at the three great festivals, and on state occasions ; and that the archbishop of Canterbury claimed to put the crown on, cither by himself or by deputy, on all such occasions, as well as at the original coronation. Thus Eadmer informs us (p. 105), that at the Christmas after Anselm's death the king held a solemn assembly, at which the archbishop of \ ork claimed to put on the crown and i)erform mass ; but the bishop of London claimed, and was allowed. Nothing would be more natural than that the king should wear his crown at his new (jueen's coronation, and that the arch- bishdp of Canterbury should assert his prerogative, especially as the bishop of Salisbury had shown a di>poaition to interfeie with it. But archbishop Parker
APPENDIX TO VOL. 11. 825
lias given the affair a different turn, and aays that Radulpli was displeased at the king's putting on his own crown as having never heen properly crowned at all, " quod absente, ul supra diximus, Anselnio .a Thonia Eboracensi archiepiscopo in consecratione diadenia ei impositum est" (Antiqu. Brit. p. 121) ; where arch- bishop Parker forgets that (at p. 117, line 40) he had said — " llufo auteni niortuo successit frater ejus Henricus, a Mauricio Londinensi consecratus." All the his- torians say the same thing, except that M. Paris and M. Westni. join the arch- bishop of York with Maurice in the ceremonial. Mam-ice, no doubt, acted by Ansehn's direction, and Eadmer, who says that on Anselni's arrival the king apologised to him for not deferring his coronation, gives no hint of Ansehn's expressing any dissatisfaction. Some years after, IJecket, writing to the pope (Epist. D. ThomjE, lib. v. 45), distinctly asserts that the rights of his see in regard to the coronation had never yet been infringed ; for that Stigand, as an usurper, had no right to crown the Conqueror; and that Anselm crowned Henry I. by the bishop of Hereford as his deputy, and repeated the ceremonial on arriving in England. (See the note on p. 15'J, line 15.) Archbishop Parker and Foxe are therefore incorrect in representing this affair at Windsor as Henry's "second coronation," and in so doing have made the same mistake as Malmes- bury seems to have made respecting Edgar's crowning at Bath, Whitsunday, May 11th, A.D.973, which (strictly speaking) was not his coronation, but his resufnin^ the use of his crown at the great festivals ; and it would be archbishop Dunstan's prerogative, on such an occasion, to place it on his head. (See the notes on pp. 51, 62, 63.) — Foxe is mistaken in saying the "twenty-seventh" year of Henry, as it was Jan. 30th, a.d. 1121, which was 22 Hen. I.; and Radulph died October a.d. 1122, which was 23 Henry I. — See Richardson's Godwin de Prce$ulibus.

" Ad ultimum congregata synodo in Erfordia mense Octobri, a.d. 1074, pressius jam inuninebat, ut, relegata onnii tergiversatione, in prsesentiarum aut conjugium abjurarent, aut sacri altaris ministerio se abdicarent. Multas c contra illi rationcs asserebant, quibus instantis peiiirgentisque improbitatem eludcre sententiamque cassare niterentur. Cumque adversus ApostolicjE sedis authoritatcm, qua se illc ad banc exactionem praater voluntatem propriam com- pulsum obtendebat, nihil argumenta, nihil supplicationes precesque proficerent ; egressi tanquam ad consullandum, consilium ineunt ut in synodum non redcant, sed injussi omncs in domos suas discedant. Noniudli etiam confusis vocibus clamitabant, melius sibi videri, ut in synodum regress! ijJsum episco- piuu, prius((uam cxccrabilem adversum cos sententiam pi'omidgaret, cathedra episcopali deturbarent, et merita morte multato insigne monumentum ad pos- teros transmitterent, ne quis deinceps succcssorum ejus talem sacerdotali uomini caluiuniam strucrc tentaret. Cum ad cpiscopum relatum esset hoc eos machinari, conunonitus a suis ut tumultum qui oriebatur matura moderatione ])rieverteret, misit ad eos foras, rogavitque, ut sedato pectore in synodum regre- derentur ; se, cum primiim opportiniitas arrisisset, Romam missurum, et domi- iium Apostolicum, si qua posset ratione, ab hac sentential austeritate deduc- lurum. Postero die, admissis in auditorium communiter laicis et clcricis .... subito efferata mente se foras proripiunt .... Ita soluta est synodus." Under the next year Lambert adds : —
