Notes |
- Excerpts from Blood Royal: Harold Godwinson, though descended from the Kings of Wessex, was not considered to be of the English royal bloodline, yet in 1066, ke was elected, consecrated, and crowned King of england. In less than a year, he lost crown, country, and life. Harold had for possibly twenty years or more a common-law or hand-fast wife known as Edith Swan-Neck by whom he had issue. It was she who came after Harold's last and fatal battle "to find the mutilated corpse and to identify her lover by markings known only to herself."
