Capitolo 96
March to Rochester and it started the siege of Pevensey. The Norman one
reinforcements that it finally sent Robert they were driven back with great
loss, and after of the weeks Pevensey was forced to surrender himself/herself/themselves. Episcopalian
I hear it agreed to assure the surrender of Rochester, and then to retire from
England, only to return if the king had to send for him. But William
it sent above imprudently it to Rochester with a small separation of advance, to
you occupy the castle, while him he followed more slowly with the principal
body. The castle refused to surrender himself/herself/themselves. The expression of I Hear of does it did

sally of the garrison overpowered its watches, and the bishop was brought
in the castle for once more to feel the fortune of a siege. For this siege
the king appealed again to the country and sent to call the help of everybody
under the old Saxon criminal punishment of the dishonorable name of "nithing." The
defenders of the castle greatly suffered the block, and it were soon
forced to produce on such terms as the king it arranged with that it was
difficulty persuaded to surrender its first idea of spedirloro all to the
pitchfork.
The monk Orderic Vitalis that he/she wrote an account of these events a
generation after they happened, it was stricken with a characteristic of
this insurrection that is not able really the accurate observer of some time
doesn't succeed in noticing. He says: "The rebels, even if they was so many and
arm abundantly you furnish of and provisionings, don't dare to connect battle
with the king in his/her kingdom." It had an age, to be sure when wars were
definite less to fight in the open field that from the siege and defense
of castles; and he/she anchors the collapse of so formidable an insurrection as
this, after any resistance to all in proportion to his/her apparent fight
strength, is certainly a meaningful fact. To observe here but an inference
