vassals, and to the public calamities, which he thought must, in every revolution, render his assistance necessary. Having fixed this resolution, he determined to prevent all such successes as might establish the royal authority, or render his own situation dependent or precarious. As the English had formed the plan of surrounding and de stroying the Danish fleet in harbour, he privately inform ed the enemy of their danger; and when they put to sea, in consequence of this intelligence, he deserted to them, with the squadron under his command, the night before the engagement, and thereby disappointed all the efforts of his countrymen. 1 ’ Ethelrea, enraged at his perfidy, seized his son Alfgar, and ordered his eyes to be put out.” But such was the power of Alfric, that he again forced himself into authority; and though he had given this specimen of his character, and received this grievous provocation, it was found necessary to intrust him anew with the govern ment of Mercia. This conduct of the court, which in all its circumstances is so barbarous, weak, and imprudent, both merited and prognosticated the most grievous calamities. A 1> not The northern invaders, now well acquaint ¬ ed with the defenceless condition of Eng land, made a powerful descent under the command of Sweyn, King of Denmark, and Olave, King of Norway; and sailing up the Humber, spread on all sides their de structive ravages. Lindesey was laid waste: Banbury was destroyed; and all the Northumbrians, though mostly of Danish descent, were constrained either to join the in vaders, or to suffer under their depredations. A powerful army was assembled to oppose the Danes, and a general action ensued; but the English were deserted in the bat tle, from the cowardice or treachery of their three leaders, all of them men of Danish race, Frena, Frithegist, and Godwin, who gave the example of a shameful flight to the troops under their command. Encouraged by this success, and still more by the con tempt which it inspired for their enemy, the pirates ven tured to attack the centre of the kingdom; and entering the Thames in ninety-four vessels, laid siege to London, and threatened it with total destruction. But the citizens, alarmed at the danger, and firmly united among them selves, made a bolder defence than the cowardice of the nobility and gentry gave the invaders reason to appre hend ; and the'besiegers, after suffering the greatest hard ships, were finally frustrated in their attempt. In order to revenge themselves, they laid waste Essex, Sussex, and Hampshire; and having there procured horses, they were thereby enabled to spread, through the more inland coun ties, the fury of their depredations.. In this extremity, Ethelred and his nobles had recourse to the former ex pedient ; and sending ambassadors to the two northern kings, they promised them subsistence and tribute, on condition they would, for the present, put an end to their ravages, and soon after depart the kingdom. Sweyn and Olave agreed to the terms, and peaceably took up their quarters at Southampton, where the sum of sixteen thou sand pounds was paid to them. Olave even made a jour ney to Andover, where Ethelred resided, and he received the rite of confirmation from the English bishops, as well as many rich presents from the king. He here promised that he would never more infest the English territories; and he faithfully fulfilled the engagement. This prince receives the appellation of St. Olave from the church of Rome; and notwithstanding the general presumption which lies either against the understanding or morals of every one who in those ignorant ages was dignified with that title, he seems to have been a man of merit and of virtue. Sweyn, though less scrupulous than Olave, was constrained, upon the departure of the Norwegian prince, to evacuate also the kingdom with all his followers. D 'J ’T composition brought only a short in- ' ' 7 ’ terval to the miseries of the English. The Danish pirates appeared soon after in the Severn; and having committed spoil in Wales, as well as in Cornwall and Devonshire, they sailed round to the south coast, and entering the Tamar, completed the devastation of these two counties. They then returned to the Bristol Channel; b Cliron. Sax. p. 127. W. Malm. p.62. <■ Chron. Sax. p. 128. W. Malm. p. 62. <1 Hoveden, p. 129. Cliron. Mallr. p. 15.3. Higden, p. 270. and penetrating into the country by the Avon, spread themselves over all that neighbourhood, and carried fire and sword even into Dorsetshire. They next changed the seat of war; and after ' ' 998 ' ravaging the Isle of Wight, they entered the Thames and Medway, and laid siege to Rochester, where they defeated the Kentish men in a pitched battle. After this victory, the whole province of Kent was made a scene of slaugh ter, fire, and devastation. The extremity of these miseries forced the English into counsels for common defence both by sea and land; but the weakness of the king, the divi sions among the nobility, the treachery of some, the cow ardice of others, the want of concert in all, frustrated every endeavour: their fleets and armies either came too late to attack the enemy, or were repulsed with dishonour; and the people were thus equally ruined by resistance or by submission. The English therefore, destitute both of prudence and unanimity in council, of courage and con duct in the field, had recourse to the same weak expedi ent which by experience they had already found so inef fectual : they offered the Danes to buy peace, by paying them a large sum of money. These ravagers rose con tinually in their demands; and now required the payment of 24,000 pounds, to which the English were so mean and imprudent as to submit. d The departure of the Danes procured them another short interval of repose, which they enjoyed as if it were to be perpetual, without making any effectual preparations for a more vigorous resistance upon the next return of the enemy. Besides receiving this sum, the Danes were engaged by another motive to depart a kingdom which appeared so little in a situation to resist their efforts: they were in vited over by their countrymen in Normandy, who at this time were hard pressed by the arms of Robert, King of France, and who found it difficult to defend the settle ment, which, with so much advantage to themselves and glory to their nation, they had made in that country. It is probable, also, that Ethelred, observing the close con nexions thus maintained among all the Danes, however divided in government or situation, was desirous of form ing an alliance with that formidable people : for this pur pose, being now a widower, he made his addresses to Emma, sister to Richard II. Duke of Normandy, and he soon succeeded in his negociation. The princess came over this year to England, ' ' ' and was married to Ethelred. 6 In the end of the ninth and beginning of Settlement of the the tenth century, when the North, not yet Normans, exhausted by that multitude of people, or rather nations, which she had successively emitted, sent forth a new race not of conquerors, as before, but of pirates and ravagers, who infested the countries possessed by her once warlike sons; lived Rollo, a pettv prince or chieftain in Denmark, whose valour and abilities soon engaged the attention of his countrymen. He was exposed in his youth to the jea lousy of the king of Denmark, who attacked his small but independent principality; and who, being foiled in every assault, had recourse at last to perfidy for effecting his purpose, which he had often attempted in vain by force of arms;! he lulled Rollo into security by an insidious peace; and falling-suddenly upon him, murdered his bro ther and his bravest officers, and forced him to fly for safety into Scandinavia. Here many of his ancient sub jects, induced partly by affection to their prince, partly by the oppressions of the Danish monarch, ranged them selves under his standard, and offered to follow him in every enterprise. Rollo, instead of attempting to recover his paternal dominions, where he must expect a vigorous resistance from the Danes, determined to pursue an easier but more important undertaking, and to make his fortune, in imitation of his countrymen, by pillaging the richer and more southern coasts of Europe. He collected a body of troops, which, like that of all those ravagers, was composed of Norwegians, Swedes, Frisians, Danes, and adventurers of all nations, who, being accustomed to a roving unsettled life, took delight in nothing but war and plunder. His reputation brought him associates from all e II. Hunt. p. 35Q. Hidden, p.271. f Du do, ex edit. Duchesne, p. 71» Gul Gemeticencis, lib. 2 cap. 2, 3.
