Wulf the Saxon (8 hours)

When Harold Godwinson is crowned king of England in 1066, William of Normandy contests his right to be king because of an oath Harold had earlier sworn to support William's own acquisition of the throne. Henty's treatment of this critical time in the history of the English people is even-handed, and his portrayal of Harold Godwinson- a king much neglected in our day-is a sympathetic one.
