Review # 1 was written on 2014-05-08 00:00:00 Gary Otter Anyone seeking to assess the life of Harold Godwinson faces a challenge right from the outset. While Harold enjoyed a visible presence in English life in the middle of the 11th century, after his death most of his activities were filtered through the lens of Norman propaganda, propagated to denigrate his character and delegitimize his brief tenure on the throne. Among English monarchs, only Richard III faced such a concerted campaign of historical demolition, though the greater abundance of documentation from the 15th century makes it easier to develop alternate perspectives on his reign.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-08-06 00:00:00 Nathan Coleman This is the best Peter Rex book I've read. Excellent. Two dates in English history with monumental future implications. 1066 & 1485. Rex takes us through the Anglo-Danish period from Aethelred, through Knutr and the foundation of the Godwin dynasty. The reign of the Confessor and Harold,s emergence as head of an English state. King for 9 months and 9 days with the tumult of Fulford,Stamford Bridge and Senlac. A very thought provoking epilogue with a 'what if'. What if Hardrada and William had not arrived more or less together in late summer? What if William had not been so lucky? What if Harold had won at Hastings? A continuous Anglo-Danish Godwin dynasty. No English tie to Normandy and France. No hundred years war.
