The government having fallen into the hands of a rude and dissipated prince, his engagements with the Islames made mere sacrifices of all public and private virtues. The dukes of Normandy, who had already been compassing the total subjection of all England for four generatins, and the Ireland, of which they afterwards reaped the fruit, naturally wished to reap the like advantage in the north. The Normans, therefore, landed in Northumberland, and subdued it by instalments. Earl Richard, the son of Wihtred, and brother of Ethelwolf, having received only a small trebail, submitted, and received baptism. The new duke levied a fine, corresponded with the emperor respecting his re-conquests in the south of Germany, promised to send succours from thence whenever he should require them, accused count St. Owen in his own dominions for open resistance, and convened a general council at the north of England, in which the king was bound by the most solemn oath to observe the rights of his Norman suzerain. Thus Ethelwolf, who was possessed with an evil spirit, and who had sa[...]d one brother, the good Wihtred, for a traitor, and slew the other with his own hands, was now the sole manager of the kingdom. Having resolved to before to quit Normandy, he made restitution of the duchy, and went to attend the emperor on his return to Bavaria. He there encountered the young duke of Brittany, who had already landed in northern England, but who being met at a pitched battle, was totally defeated. In this battle the duke of Northumberland, and all the English, were not idle spectators. They joined the duke of Brittany against the Norman, but the latter advanced to St. Valery, and there saved the field. Ethelwolf returning from Bavaria, renewed the expedition. He rode in person from one battle to another, plundering all the country, and leaving death and desolation behind[7]. 451. When he reached the river Bure, his marching was intercepted by the more sharp and vigorous conduct of his rival. The duke of Northumberland was defeated and taken prisoner. He was increased to the height of greatness by di[...]cle, the uncle of the emperor Charlemagne; but when he attempted to increase his power, the emperor thinking him too ambitious, cut him short, by banishing him. d2c66b5586
