After the coronation oath, In which
the new monarch promised to protect
the church and to execute Judgment
and mercy, the archbishop put the
question to the assembled crowd.
will ye have this prince to be your
king!'
A clamorous response Of assent star
tied the Norman garrison. They be-
lieved the English had revolted and
took Up their swords and torches.
They set fire to the house, the flames
spread. and there was general alarm.
The English, hearing of the piunder,
rushed out Of church. The bishops

confusion that they could hardly go
through With the act OF croWlins
William heard the tumult, but could
not conjecture the cause and sat trem-
bling at the foot Of the altar. No
great mischief was done by the fire,
but the occurrence laid the foundation
of a long enmity between the English
and Normans.

Last week I was present at a trial
