Text Appearing Before Image:
the onlyNorman who wears hose made of similar mail. There isconsiderable doubt as to the cut of this hauberk (see theBayeux Tapestry, of which the Museum possesses a veryfine fac-simile), whether it ended in short breeches, a mostawkward garment to get in or out of, or whether it was ashirt, slit up in front and behind for convenience in riding.Legend, Hoc Anglis regem signo fatearis eundem, (Bythis Seal know the real King of England (?)). Notice thatpriority is given to Patron or Protector of Normandyover Rex or Kins: of England. The difference, whichoccurs here for the first time between ruler of the people andruler of the country, counts for much amongst sovereigns;see Napoleon, Louis Philippe, etc. Notice also, on the ob-verse, that William is far from thin (see Plate I).

A good soldier, but a bad king. Brutal, profligate, ex-travagant; loathsome to well nigh all his people (EnglishChronicles). One cannot help admiring his arrogant cour-age; hearing of a rebellion in Normandy, despite a fierce gale,with a few companions he sprang into a slight skiff and or-dered them to cross the English Channel. To their plaintiveremonstrances he contemptuously replied, Kings neverdrown. He was intensely hated and one August morning (noo)his body was found in a glade in the New Forest (northwestof Southampton), pierced by a cross-bow bolt. WalterTyrrel, it was said, fired at a buck, the bolt struck a tree,glanced and killed the King. Was there really that helpfultree?
