The house of his stepmother (in which Ethelred was brought up) was near this wood in a place called by the inhabitants Corph, which is about three miles from Wareham, where a celebrated castle has since been built. Now as he was on his way thither, it happened that his com- panions, intent on their sport, dispersed themselves, so that he was left without a single attendant, and he came on alone to the house wholly unsuspicious. He was seen in the distance, and it was announced to the Queen by h...er servants that King Edward was coming to see her. She, rejoicing that she had found an opportunity for her evil plans, presently went out to meet him with her satellites, received him joyfully, and with a most bland and friendly manner invited him to share her hospitality. This, however, he declined, expressing at the same time his wish to see and speak with his brother Ethelred. The wicked Queen on this turned herself to a new device. She ordered wine to be brought, in order that, as he was thoughtlessly drinking it, she might have a better opportunity of carrying out her design.
