Some day one of my line, if God will, shall reign alone over a united England, stronger for the new blood that has come among us.

But it is a great charge that I give to you, Ranald.

What we have to fear are the new hosts that come from Denmark, and only a strong fleet can stay them from our shores.

I can deal with those who are here, and these in time will help me against fresh comers to the land.

There is that in English soil that makes every settler an Englishman in heart.
