Now Edward had an even more mischievous thought, " All right, if Godwine wants an heir to the throne of England so badly, I' ll give him one, but one more to my liking." And thus at this point, Norman chronicles claimed, that Edward apparently promised the succession to the Duke of Normandy, William the Bastard. Of course, nobody knew anything about this in England, least of all Godwine, who in 1053 died suddenly of a stroke while at dinner with the king. But there were plenty of other Godwines ready to step into the Godfather' s place. His sons now took over where he had left off, controlling England, virtually unchallenged. And presiding over the family empire was the eldest son, Harold. Harold Godwineson seemed to have everything: land, power, riches, charisma, an aristocratic wife and a supporting troop of loyal and clever brothers. He even managed to make himself patron of churches, like this one at Bosham in Sussex. |
