The golden warrior — Hope Muntz
At Hastings, in the year 1066, Harold's great English army was defeated by the Normans under William the Conqueror, and Harold himself lost his life -- but in that battle he won everlasting fame and a permanent place in English hearts.
It was a tragic culmination to a career that had seen many tribulations. Harold had sacrificed much for the sake of the crown: he had given up his beloved common law wife, Edith Swanneck; he had banished his own brother, Tosti, from England; he had become a man almost without friends. And he had begun to wonder whether the price of kingship was not, after all, too high.
