To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" From the same source we learn that the number was 4800, although it has been also estimated at 3600. One thousand two hundred were kept on the east coast ("in plaga Anglise Orientali"), and similar numbers to the west, the south 132 THE EIGHTH CENTURY TO 1485 and the north respectively, for the defence of his kingdom. Under Edgar's rule every three " hundreds " (probably only of those along the coast-line), were compelled to furnish a ship. Nor must we suppose that the mercantile marine was e...ntirely at a standstill, for there is frequent mention of the English fleets after the time of Athelstan, and whilst the men of Kent were busily engaged in the herring fishery, trade was regularly being carried on with France and Flanders. Under the reign of Edward the Confessor the merchant navy grew very greatly.
The Anglo-Saxon ships of the eleventh century were less of the Gogstad or skuta type, than of that bigger class to which the " Long Serpent " or snekja belongs. We do know from a certain Scandinavian Edda what the Viking ships of about the year 1000 were like in dimen- sions.
