Chapter 20—A Second Norman Conquest

For events and quotations concerning the invasion of England, the Monk of St. Denis (Chron. C6, I) and Froissart (KL, XII) may be generally taken for granted as the original sources, supplemented by Mirot’s “Une tentative” Terrier de Loray’s life of Vienne, and Roncière’s history of the French navy.
