Note to Anon Liðs 10I

[5-8]: The poet leaves it open to his audience to assume that the siege of London led directly to the occupation of the city. More realistic is the ASC account (s. a. 1016) which states that the Londoners bought peace with the invading army, who brought their ships into London and overwintered there.
