King Harold, the son of Godvina is one of the most famous and at the same time mysterious figures in English history. Harold became the king of England in 1066 and this year became fatal for the Kingdom of the Anglo -Saxon: two contenders for the crown - Norwegian Konung Harald Hyshera and Norman Duke Wilhelm Conqueror invaded English land.

The triumphant Normans rewrote the story, putting the last Anglo -Saxon king by the usurpator and oath -criminal. But in reality, everything was different. In the book of the Scottish historian J.
