A Chronicle of the Kings of Man, taken out of 

 M. Camdens Chorographie. 



N the yeere of our Lord 1066. Edward 

 King of England, of famous memory 

 deceased, whom Harald sonne of Godwin 

 succeeded in his kingdome ; against which 

 Harald the king of Norwaie called Harald 

 Harfager fought a battel at Stainford 

 ^ bridge, where the English winning the 



fielde put all the Norwegians to flight : out of which 

 flight one Godredus sirnamed Crovan (the sonne of 

 Harald the blacke, who had before time fled out of Island) 

 repaired unto Godred sonne of Syrric, who then reigned 

 in Man, and was right friendly and honourably enterteined 

 by him. 



In the very same yeere William the Conquerour sub- 

 dued England, and Godred the sonne of Syrric, king of 

 Man, deceased, after whom succeeded his sonne Fingal. 



In the yeere 1066. Godredus Crovan gathered a fleete 

 of ships, and sailed unto Man, and giving battell unto the 

 people of the countrey, was vanquished and put to flight. 

 The second time also having gathered his armie and ships 

 together, hee came unto Man, fought with the inhabitants, 

 lost the victorie, and was chaced away. Yea, the third 

 time he assembled a great multitude, and comming by 

 night unto the port which is called Ramsa, hid 300. of his 

 men in a wood standing upon the side of the hill called 

 Scacafel. The Sunne was no sooner up, but the Mannians 

 arranged themselves and with great furie set upon Godred.
