Her man expelled Bishop Ægelric from the Burh, and sent him to Westminster. He outlawed his brother Bishop Ægelwine. Then, between the two feasts of Saint Mary, there came from Denmark a fleet of three hundred ships; they were the sons of King Swægn and his brother Earl Osbearn. Then the earl Walðeaf went out and met he with Eadgar the prince and many hundreds of men with them, and encountered that army within the Humber, and marched to York, capturing towns and slaying many hundreds of men. They brought much treasure to their ships; then the leaders had on both sides and lay between Ula and Trent all winter long. King William went into that shire, and they utterly destroyed it. And in this same year Abbot Brand departed from Burh on the fifth calends of December.
