In London in January 1066, KING EDWARD is dying. ARCHBISHOP STIGAND calls in HAROLD GODWINSON, 43, to his room, where he pressures the king to name his successor. Edward tells Harold that William will be after the crown.
There is a flashback to a year before, when Harold and his crew get shipwrecked on the Normandy coast. Harold meets WILLIAM, 39, the Duke of Normandy. Harold and William get along, but one of Harold’s housecarls, MAGNUS, warns that if he stays too long, William will kill him, since he was named an heir to the crown by Edward. Harold joins William in battle in Brittany, and together they defeat the Bretons. WILLIAM FITZOSBERN, 38, Seneschal of Normandy, and ODO, 31, William’s brother and Bishop of Bayeux, remind William that Harold is his enemy, not his friend. They plan for Harold to make an oath supporting William to be king over the bones of English saints, which are Holy relics. William tells Harold he can take the oath, or remain in jail in Normandy. Harold decides to take the oath because he feels he needs to go home.
Harold returns to England and is met by EDITH SVANSCHELLS, 35, the mother of his children. In...
