79. KING EDWARD'S DEATH.

When spring came Harald rigged his ships and set off; and he and the

earl parted with great friendship. Harald sailed over to England to King

Edward, but did not return to Valland to fulfill the marriage agreement.

Edward was king over England for twenty-three years and died on a bed

of sickness in London on the 5th of January, and was buried in Paul's

church. Englishmen call him a saint.
