summary:
  From the year 880 when Halfdene divided the lands of Deira among his followers the conditions of life became those of colonists, and the Danes settled down to cultivate their own lands, learning the language of the earlier Angles, teaching them many words, and ways of northern handicraft, and gradually intermarrying and forming the vigorous character of body and mind which denotes the modern Englishman. From the middle of the tenth century men bearing Anglo-Danish names held high positions in the Church; Odo was Archbishop of Canterbury, his nephew Oswald was Bishop of Worcester and afterwards Archbishop of York in succession to Oskytel, and many Norse names appear as witnesses to Royal Charters. In the manors bearing English names the sokemen numbered two-fifths of the population, while in those manors with Danish names they formed three-fifths of the population.

  Not inclined to try conclusions with an antagonist so formidable, Malcolm presented himself to the Conqueror at a place near the frontier, which is supposed to have been Berwick; and, though declining to surrender the Saxon emigrants, met King William in a peaceful attitude, touched his hand in sign of friendship, promised that William's enemies should be his also, and freely acknowledged himself his vassal and liegeman. Lanfranc wrote joyfully to King William, your kingdom is freed from the filthy Bretons.

  Know you yon great man? asked Eadmund of me; for I would not leave him, but stood before him in my place. There has come a messenger from Guthrum with the news, and even now the Danes march in all haste from the towns to fill up the gaps in the ranks of the host, and he says that ships must go back to Jutland to Ingvar for more men from overseas.

  They had appointed to waylay King Olaf Triggvison in a certain channel running between the mainland and the island of Svold, and Sweyn had now sent this messenger bidding the earl to so bring it about that they might fall upon King Olaf in that place. Go back to your chief, cried Brihtnoth, with an indignant sweep of his arm; go back and tell him that steel, and not gold, is the only metal that can now judge between him and me! It is the metal that King Olaf has ever favoured, returned Guthmund; and right glad will he be to hear that there is at least one man among the English who is brave enough to be of that same opinion.

summary:
  Many magnates or sons of prominent franklins had fared to Canute on various errands; but all who came to King Canute were given their hands full of wealth. But if King Olaf Haroldsson wishes to rule Norway, let him fare to King Canute and receive the land from him as a fief and become his man and pay such tribute as the earls had earlier paid.[294] Such a proposal was an insult to the Norse nation, and it is not likely that Canute expected a favourable reply.

  Thy news, old man, is no news, said Ulf; the token for a Thing has been sent out, and it is natural that the bonders should obey the summons. Besides this, to say the truth, we had already lost a number of good men on the cruise and could ill afford to lose more.
