[Footnote 86: The narrative of Malaterra (l. iii. c. 37, p.
587, 588) is authentic, circumstantial, and fair. Dux ignem
exclamans urbe incensa, &c. The Apulian softens the
mischief, (inde quibusdam aedibus exustis,) which is again
exaggerated in some partial chronicles, (Muratori, Annali,
tom. ix. p. 147.)]
