This is one of the paragraphs which mentions the families of the Anglo-Saxons....
"Some of the Norman chiefs followed them, as we shall see, at a later period; and the races who were at fierce antagonism in England, manifested no such feeling towards each other when they met further north.

Especially was this the case in that portion of the kingdom to which this history relates."
