Supporting New Games

[Steel God]

A nice story Peter, and although factual, it does leave out the interesting bits.

About how the "English" viewed and vilified poor Edward...blame the Godwins, it was they who put him on the throne. In the 11th century I suspect the "press in Rome" was of considerably more import than local feelings. We are centuries removed still from any real sense of nationalism.

As for the spotless and noble Harold II...you are leaving out the fact that he swore a religious oath to support William's claim to the throne. Oath breakers, or usurpers by another name, usually get their due, and Harold got his within less than a year's time. King he may have been, mercifully brief as it turned out, but William made a proper Fuedal Society of England, to it's ever lasting Glory! ;)
