Compare 1577 edition: 1 With other lords and men of account in great numbers, whose names the author of the chronicles of Normandie could not come by (as he himselfe confesseth.) In consideration whereof, and bi|cause diuers of these are set foorth onlie by their titles of estate, and not by their surnames; we haue thought it conuenient to make you partakers of the roll which sometime belonged to Battell ab|beie, conteining also (as the title thereof importeth) the names of such Nobles and Gen|tlemen of Marque, as came at this time with the Conqueror, whereof diuerse maie be the same persons which in the catalog aboue written are contei|ned, bearing the names of the places whereof they were posses|sours and owners, as by the same catalog maie appeare.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 When king William had set all things in order through the most part of the realme, he deliuered the guiding thereof vnto his brother Odo, Sim. Dunel. the bishop of Bayeux, and his coosine William Fits Osborne, whom he had made erle of Hereford.King William goeth ouer in|to Normandy Hen. Hun [...]. Polychron. Sim. Dun. In Lent follo|wing he sailed into Normandie, leading with him the pledges, and other of the chéefest lords of the En|glish nation: among whom, the two earles Edwine and Marchar, Stigand the archbishop, Edgar Ethe|ling, Walteof sonne to Siward sometime duke of Northumberland, and Agelnothus the abbat of Gla|stenburie were the most famous. Soone after his departing,Edricke Syl+uaticus. Edricke surnamed Syluaticus, sonne to Alfricke that was brother to Edricke de Streona, refusing to submit himselfe vnto the king, rebelled and rose against such as he had left in his absence to gouerne the land. Wherevpon those that laie in the castell of Hereford,Richard Fits Scroope. as Richard Fitz Scroope and o|thers, did oftentimes inuade his lands, and wasted the goods of his farmors and tenants: but yet so of|ten as they attempted, to inuade him they lost ma|nie of their owne souldiers and men of war. Moreo|uer, the said Edricke calling to his aid the kings of the Welshmen, Bleothgent and Rithwall, about the feast of the assumption of our Ladie, wasted the countrie of Hereford, euen to the bridge of the riuer of Wye, and obteined out of those quarters a mar|uellous great spoile.The riuer of Wye. King William returneth into England. In the winter also following, and after king William had disposed his busines in Normandie, he returned into England, and euen then began to handle the Englishmen somewhat sharpelie, supposing thereby to kéepe them the more easil [...]e vnder his obedience. He also tooke awaie from diuerse of the Nobilitie, and others of the bet|ter sort, all their liuings, and gaue the same to his Normans. Moreouer, H. Hun [...]. he raised great taxes and sub|sidies through the realme: nor any thing regarded th'English Nobilitie, so that they who before thought themselues to be made for euer by bringing a stran|ger into the realme, doo now sée themselues troden vnder foot, to be despised, and to be mocked on all sides, Matth. Paris. insomuch that many of them were constrei|ned (as it were for a further testimonie of seruitude and bondage) to shaue their beards, to round their heare, and to frame themselues as well in apparell as in seruice and diet at their tables after the Nor|man manner, verie strange and farre differing from the ancient customes and old vsages of their countrie. Others vtterlie refusing to susteine such an intollerable yoke of thral [...]me as was dailie laid vpon them by the Normans, chose rather to leaue all both goods and lands, & after the maner of outlawes, got them to the woods, with their wiues, children, and seruants,Englishmen withdraw them to the woods as out|lawes. meaning from thencefoorth wholie to liue vpon the spoile of the countries adioining, and to take whatsoeuer came next to hand. Wherevpon it came to passe within a while, that no man might trauell in safetie from his owne house or towne to his next neighbors, and euery quiet and honest mans house became as it were an hold or fortresse furni|shed for defense with bowes and arrowes, bils, pol|axes, swords, clubs and staues, and other weapons; the doores kept locked and stronglie boulted in the night season, for feare to be surprised as it had beene in time of open warre, and amongst publike eni|mies. Praiers were said also by the maister of the EEBO page image 6 house, as though they had beene in the middest of the seas in some stormie tempest, and when the win|dowes or doores should be shut in and closed, they v|sed to saie Benedicite, and others to answer, Dominus, in like sort as the preest and his penitent were woont to doo at confession in the church.
