The armed man drew, and wounded him.

The man of Dover struck the armed man dead.

Intelligence of what he had done, spreading through the streets to where the Count Eustace and his men were standing by their horses, bridle in hand, they passionately mounted, galloped to the house, surrounded it, forced their way in (the doors and windows being closed when they came up), and killed the man of Dover at his own fireside.

They then clattered through the streets, cutting down and riding over men, women, and children.

This did not last long, you may believe.
