Narrative

Harold Godwinson, or Harold II of England was shipwrecked at Ponthieu, Normandy in 1064 and taken captive by Guy (or Wido according to the Bayeux Tapestry) who was the then Count of Ponthieu. It is alleged that William (Duke of Normandy - later William I of England) discovering that Harold had been taken captive, sent messengers ordering Count Guy to hand over his prisoner. William then forced Harold to swear to support his claim to the throne, only revealing after the event that the box on which Harold had made his oath contained holy relics, making the promise especially binding.
