to Ireland. His [Godwin's] earldom was given to Elgar, the son of Leofric, a
 +
man of active habits; who, receiving, governed it with ability, and readily
 +
restored it to him [Godwin] upon his return; and afterwards, on the death of
 +
Godwin, when Harold had obtained the dukedom of his father, he reclaimed it,
 +
though, by the accusation of his enemies, he was banished for a time." See
