In history books, Earl Godwin of Wessex and his sons are dismissed as murderers, oath-breakers, renegades and usurpers. Is this the result of Norman post-Conquest propaganda? the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicles" show this to be more than a possibility. Based on the facts in the "Chronicles," this is the story of the Earl's lone campaign to keep England for the English, in the face of the apathy and jealousy of his countrymen, the hatred of King Edward the Confessor, and the soft intrigues of the Norman Court favorite, Robert of Jumieges.
