surrender to him of Eustace and all his men. Being well provided with troops, king Eadward replied that he should not give up earl Eustace, and commanded him, as one who had levied an army against his sovereign and disturbed the peace of the realm, to come to court and make answer to the charge, and submit himself to the laws.

King Eadward, who was then at London, had assembled a large army and a numerous fleet, to press Godwin and his sons by sea and land.
