See Ellis, _Domesday,_ i. 310.] [Footnote 8: Guy succeeded his brother Enguerran, William's brother-in-law, who was killed before Arques. Guy, after being captured at Mortemer, was, according to _Ordericus Vitalis_, p. 658, kept prisoner at Bayeux, and was ultimately released on homage and fealty to the duke. See our previous notes on this family, and a subsequent one on Aumale. Benoit states positively that a storm carried Harold to Ponthieu: --trop lor fu la mer sauvage: Kar granz tempers e fort orage Ne les i laissa ariver: Ainceis les covint devaler Dreit en Pontif. La pristrent port, Eissi ateint e eissi mort; Mieux vousissent estre en sezile.] [Footnote 9: Beaurain on the Canche, arrondissement of Hesdin.] [Footnote 10: According to _William of Poitiers_, Guy himself conducted his prisoner to William at Eu. Benoit ascribes the surrender to William's threats and military preparations, for which purpose ....manda li dux ses genz Sempres, a milliers e a cenz; Vers Ou chevaucha irascuz Dunt Heraut ne li ert renduz.] [Footnote 11: The Eaulne.] [Footnote 12: 'Tales togeder thei told, ilk on a good palfray.' _Robert Brunne's_ Chronicle, quoted in _Thierry_, i. 250. Benoit de Sainte-More says of this part of the story, Od que li Dux out jostées, Mult granz e mult desmesurées: Por aller essilier Bretons, Vers lui torcenos e felons Qui n'el deignoient sopleier, Le mena od sei osteier; Là fist de lui si grant cherté C'unc tant n'out de sa volunté, Ne fu nul leu mais tant joiz Qu'il cil afaires fu feniz.]
