Having beaten back the threat of the Vikings and his own brother, it must have seemed inconceivable to Harold that he was gonna have to do it all over again within a week or two. It would not be easy, who could he call on? The bruised and battered remains of his army. It would be a long shot, but after Stamford Bridge perhaps Harold felt that he could actually trust his gambler' s luck. Besides, William' s public namecalling Harold the Perjured, Harold the Oath Breaker, Harold the Perfidious had made it personal now, a mortal duel. So let the hand of God decide who was the righteous party, who would prevail. Harold left London at full speed. He gathered what he could of a new army by an old grey apple tree, an ancient blasted tree that stood on a hill at the crossing of the track leading out of Hastings. There Harold planted his banner, " The Dragon of Wessex". The Normans called this place " Senlach", which means " Lake of Blood". |
