Event (124)

Advice/counsel (2)

 Cnut 3.marriage to Emma 2: [Cnut 3] consulted the members of his council and took steps to safeguard the future. He took Queen Emma 2 from the city [of London] and married her a few days later according to the Christian rite. In return for her he handed over her weight in gold and silver to the army.: WilliamofJumieges.Gesta Normannorum Ducum  V.9
 Edward 15.confiscating property of Emma 2: MS D: A fortnight before St Andrew’s day, the king was advised to ride from Gloucester, together with Earl Leofric 49 and Earl Godwine 51 and Earl Siweard 11 and their retinue to Winchester. And they came unexpectedly upon the lady [i.e. Ælfgifu Emma 2], and deprived her of all the treasures which she owned, and which were beyond counting, because she had formerly been very hard to the king, her son, in that she did less for him than he wished both before he became king and afterwards as well. And they allowed her to stay there afterwards. : ASC (C-F) 1042-1087  CDE 1043 (1043)

Agreement (2)

 Agreement concerning land in Somerset: Archbishop Dunstan 1 assigned Taunton to Bishop Æthelwold 1 in conformity with the bishop’s charters. And King Edgar 11 then relinquished it, and commanded every one of his thegns who had any land on the estate that they should hold it in conformity with the bishop’s wish, or else give it up. And the king then said that he had no land to grant out, when he durst not, for fear of God, retain the headship himself; and moreover he then put Ruishton under the bishop’s control. And then Wulfgyth 4 rode to me at Combe and sought me. And Emma 2 then, because she was her kinswoman, and Ælfswith 14 because he (i.e. Leofric 74) was her brother, obtained from Bishop Æthelwold 1 that they (i.e. Wulfgyth 4 and Leofric 74) might enjoy the land for their lifetime, and after their death the land should go to Taunton, with produce and men, just as it stood. And with great difficulty the two brought matters to this conclusion. : S1242

Confiscation (4)

 Edward 15.confiscating property of Emma 2: MS D: A fortnight before St Andrew’s day, the king was advised to ride from Gloucester, together with Earl Leofric 49 and Earl Godwine 51 and Earl Siweard 11 and their retinue to Winchester. And they came unexpectedly upon the lady [i.e. Ælfgifu Emma 2], and deprived her of all the treasures which she owned, and which were beyond counting, because she had formerly been very hard to the king, her son, in that she did less for him than he wished both before he became king and afterwards as well. And they allowed her to stay there afterwards. : ASC (C-F) 1042-1087  CDE 1043 (1043)

Years later, when her son Edward 15 had come to the throne, memories of the past provoked the king's heart against his mother; for she had been all to niggardly with her son when he was in his tender years. So he now commanded the expropriation of all her property, including the shrine housing the saint's head, which was eventually given to the monastery of Malmesbury. : WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum  v.263

Conquest (1)

 Swein 1-Cnut 3.conquest of England: Swein 1, the king of the Danes, having driven Æthelred 32, the king of the English, into Normandy, took possession of his realm; but upon his death, which occurred no long time afterwards, king Æthelred 32 returned to his own kingdom, having taken to wife Emma 2, the daughter of Richard 1, the duke of the Normans. Only a very short time had elapsed, when Cnut 3, the son of Swein 1, the king of the Danes, came to England, accompanied by a countless multitude, meaning to reign over it. He sent a message to Uchtred 2, asking him to join him, along with all the men whom he could muster, to render him assistance against king Æthelred 32, promising him that, in the event of his compliance, not only should he retain possession of the honour which he then held, but that something yet more extensive should be added. This earl was a man of considerable influence, for he had under him the counties of Northumberland and York. Uchtred 2, however, answered that he would do nothing of the sort, and declared that it would be the death of baseness were he to act thus against his lord and father-in-law. Thus Cnut 3 had no assistance from Uchtred 2. : SymeonofDurham.DeObsessioneDunelmi  4(217-8)

So he now commanded the expropriation of all her property, including the shrine housing the saint's head, which was eventually given to the monastery of Malmesbury. : WilliamofMalmesbury.GestaPontificumAnglorum  v.263
 Swein 1-Cnut 3.conquest of England: Swein 1, the king of the Danes, having driven Æthelred 32, the king of the English, into Normandy, took possession of his realm; but upon his death, which occurred no long time afterwards, king Æthelred 32 returned to his own kingdom, having taken to wife Emma 2, the daughter of Richard 1, the duke of the Normans. Only a very short time had elapsed, when Cnut 3, the son of Swein 1, the king of the Danes, came to England, accompanied by a countless multitude, meaning to reign over it. He sent a message to Uchtred 2, asking him to join him, along with all the men whom he could muster, to render him assistance against king Æthelred 32, promising him that, in the event of his compliance, not only should he retain possession of the honour which he then held, but that something yet more extensive should be added. This earl was a man of considerable influence, for he had under him the counties of Northumberland and York. Uchtred 2, however, answered that he would do nothing of the sort, and declared that it would be the death of baseness were he to act thus against his lord and father-in-law. Thus Cnut 3 had no assistance from Uchtred 2. : SymeonofDurham.DeObsessioneDunelmi  4(217-8)

Deposition of bishop (1)

Disputing/dispute-settling (2)

 Agreement concerning land in Somerset: Archbishop Dunstan 1 assigned Taunton to Bishop Æthelwold 1 in conformity with the bishop’s charters. And King Edgar 11 then relinquished it, and commanded every one of his thegns who had any land on the estate that they should hold it in conformity with the bishop’s wish, or else give it up. And the king then said that he had no land to grant out, when he durst not, for fear of God, retain the headship himself; and moreover he then put Ruishton under the bishop’s control. And then Wulfgyth 4 rode to me at Combe and sought me. And Emma 2 then, because she was her kinswoman, and Ælfswith 14 because he (i.e. Leofric 74) was her brother, obtained from Bishop Æthelwold 1 that they (i.e. Wulfgyth 4 and Leofric 74) might enjoy the land for their lifetime, and after their death the land should go to Taunton, with produce and men, just as it stood. And with great difficulty the two brought matters to this conclusion. : S1242
