Sweyn, King of Denmark: Scene, refusing Egelwin's Request for Exemption from Tribute -- A male attendant stands behind Sweyn, who wears a crown and is seated on a throne with a footstool.

With his right hand, he directs two men, one armed with a club, who are attacking Egelwin of Bury St. Edmunds. Egelwin is tonsured and in monk's habit. He is holding a tau-staff and is asking for exemption from tribute for his church. Above Sweyn is in an architectural setting. The illustration has a patterned background and decorated frame.
