But he cried out lustily, '' See, my lords, by the splendor of God,* I have taken possession of England with both my hands. It is now mine, and ,what is mine is yours." • The next day they marched along the "sea-shore to Hastings. Near that place the duke fortified a camp, and set up the two other wooden castles. The foragers, and those who looked out for booty, seized all the' clothing and provisions they could... find, lest what had been brought by the ships should fail them.
