Forthwith all raised a loud lery of distress. "An evil sign," said they, "is here." But he cried out lustily, '' See, my lords, by the splendor of God,* I have taken possession of England with both my hands.
It is now mine, and ,what is mine is yours." • The next day they marched along the "sea-shore to Hastings.
Near that place the duke fortified a camp, and set up the two other wooden castles. The foragers, and those who looked out for booty, seized all the' clothing and provisions they could... find, lest what had been brought by the ships should fail them. And the English were to be seen fleeing before them, driving ofl' their cattle, and quitting their houses. Many took shelter in burying- places, and even there they were in grievous alarm.
Besides the marauders from the Norman camp, strong bodies of cavalry were detached by William into the country, and these, when Harold and his army made their rapid march from London southward, fell back in good order upon the main body of the Normans, and reported that the Saxon king was rushing on like a madman.
