ANnd whā this bataylle was done. Harolde be ca∣me so proude / & wolde no thynge parte with his people of the thyn∣ge that he had goten / but helde it all to hym self. wherfore the mo∣ost parte of his people were wrothe and fro∣me hym departed / soo that oonly with hym a∣bode no moo but his soldyurs. And vpon a daye as he sate atte meete / a messager came to hym and sayde / that wyllyam bastarde the duke of Normandy was arryued in Englon∣de with a greate hoste / & had take all the londe about Hastynge / & also myned the castell. whā the kynge had herde this tydynges / he wente thyther with a lytell power in all the hast that he myght for there but fewe people wyth hym lefte. And whan he was come thyder / he ordey¦ned to yeue batayll to duke wyllyam. But the duke axed him of these thre thynges / yf that he wolde haue his doughter to wyf as he made & swore his othe & behyght / or that he wolde hol¦de the londe of hym in truage / or he wolde de∣termyne thys thynge in batayll. This Harol∣de was a proude man & a stronge and trusted wonder moche vpon his strength and faught with duke wyllyam and with his people. But Harolde & his men in this batayll were dyscō∣fyted / & hymselfe there was slayne / and thys batayll was ended at Tombryge in the secon¦de yere of his regne / vpon sanyt Calixt{us} daye / and so he was buryed at waltham.
