Sensible that they had entirelylost their dignity, and could not even hope to remain long in safety, they determined, though too kite, to share the same fate with theircountrymen. While Edwin retired to his estate in the north, with a viewof commencing an insurrection, Morcar took shelter in the Isle of Ely, with the brave Hereward, who, secured by the inaccessible situation ofthe place, still defended himself against the Normans. But this attemptserved only to accelerate the ruin of the few En...glish who had hithertobeen able to preserve their rank or fortune during the past convulsions. William employed all his endeavors to subdue the Isle of Ely; and havingsurrounded it with flat-bottomed boats, and made a causeway through themorasses to the extent of two miles, he obliged the rebels to surrenderat discretion. Hereward alone forced his way, sword in hand, through theenemy; and still continued his hostilities by sea against the Normans, till at last William, charmed with his bravery, received him into favor, and restored him to his estate.
