King Alfred of England

CHAPTER XIII
35/35

The attendants hastened to his relief, the guests rose in terror and confusion.

Godwin was borne away by two of his sons, and laid on his bed in convulsions.

He survived the immediate injury, but after lingering five days he died.

In fact, when he died, he named one of them as his successor to the throne.
