Chronicon ex Chronicis by Florence and John of Worcester. 1049. The emperor Henry [aged 31] assembled a vast army against Baldwin [aged 36], count of Flanders, chiefly because he had burnt and ruined his stately palace at Nimeguen. In this expedition were pope Leo, and many great and noble men from various countries. Sweyn [aged 30], king of Denmark, was also there with his fleet at the emperor's command, and swore fealty to the emperor for that occasion. He sent also to [his former brother-in-law] Edward [aged 46], king of England, and requested him not to let Baldwin escape, if he should retreat to the sea. In consequence, the king went with a large fleet to the port of Sandwich, Kent [Map], and remained there until the emperor had obtained of Baldwin all he desired. Meanwhile, earl Sweyn [aged 28], son of earl Godwin [aged 48] and Githa, who had left England and gone to Denmark, because he was not permitted to marry Edgiva, abbess of the monastery of Leominster, whom he had debauched, returned with eight ships, alleging falsely that he would now remain loyally with the king.
