To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Duke was mounted on a Spanish steed, around his neck were suspended some of the relics on which Harold had made oath, and the consecrated stand- ard was borne at his side.
William harangued his soldiers, reminding them of the exploits of their ancestors, the massacre of the Northmen in England, and, in particular, the murder of their brethren the Danes. But he added another and a stronger excite- ment to their valor : " Fight manfully, and put all to the sword ; and, if we conquer, we shall... all be rich. What I gain, you gain; what I conquer, you conquer; if I gain the land, it is yours. " We shall give, in our author's own words, the further particulars of this decisive battle which placed a Norman sovereign on the English throne : The spot which Harold had selected for this ever-memorable contest was a high ground, then called Senlac, nine miles from Hastings, opening to the south, and covered in the rear by an ex- tensive wood. He posted his troops on the declivity of the hill in one compact mass, covered with their shields, and wielding their enormous battle-axes.
