The Normans, by contrast, shave the backs of their heads. They' re the scary halfskinheads of the early feudal world. Realising that his lucky number has come up, William could afford to be all charm and generosity to his prisoner, cleverly bringing him into his military entourage. William took Harold on campaign with him in Brittany, where Harold returns the favour by rescuing two of William' s soldiers from the quicksands of Mont Saint Michel, one on his left arm, one on his back. But William' s hospitality is steeltipped. He makes Harold one of his knights, a solemn ceremonious business but one that involved a twoway obligation. |
