And then, all at once, an ill wind blew away this fairweather vision. It all started with a voyage, that no one can fully explain, even to this day. In 1064, Harold and a group of men set sail across the Channel for Normandy. Maybe it was to rescue his younger brother, Wulfstan, who had been taken hostage by William. But for the Norman chroniclers, the journey could only have had one purpose. Harold was confirming Edward' s offer of the crown. Why would Harold do something so against his own best interests? |
