1. Starter Yesterday we looked at the life of Edward the Confessor. I want you to write an obituary for him. Imagine it was to appear in a fictional newspaper from the time. It should be no more than 75 words and sum up the life of the dead person. It should probably be quite positive towards him.

It should probably be quite positive towards him Date 6 th January 1066 Yesterday our great leader, Edward, died leaving behind him a trail of uncertainty. The King left no heirs to the throne, so therefore England is left reeling in turmoil. Edward was born in 1004 son of Etherel the Unready. He spent his formative years growing up in France, returning to take the throne in 1042 until his death. He succeeded Harthacanute, his half brother, and was married to Edith Godwin, part of the powerful Godwin clan. A great man known for his love of French food and wine he will be sorely missed.

11. Edward the Confessor named Harold Godwin as his successor on his deathbed in January 1066. While the Witan backed Edward’s choice, at least three other men, William of Normandy, Prince Edgar the Atheling and Harald Hardrada, believed neither Edward nor the Witan had any power to make this decision and decided to fight against it. These men felt they also had a claim to the throne.
12. Expert groups:- A – Harold Godwin B – Prince Edgar the Atheling C – Harald Hardrada D – William Duke of Normandy
13. CLAIMANT FACT FILE: WILLIAM DUKE OF NORMANDY BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Was the cousin of King Edward the Confessor. Claimed that Edward promised him the throne in 1051. Claimed that Harold of Wessex also promised him the throne. Had been a very successful as ruler of Normandy. Claimed that he could repeat the job as King of England. CLAIM: Said King Edward the Confessor promised him the throne. In the past Normandy had looked after and helped King Edward and his family. According to William, King Edward promised him the throne in 1051 to thank him for his help and to solve the succession problems. PROBLEMS WITH THE CLAIM: Norman sources say say Harold was sent by King Edward to swear an oath of support in 1064. Saxon sources say that Harold was shipwrecked off Normandy and tricked into swearing an oath.
14. CLAIMANT FACT FILE: HAROLD GODWINSON BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Brother of King Edward the Confessor's wife. Son of Earl Godwinson, the most powerful noble in England. Had the support of the Witan. Claimed to have been made King by Edward. Was English and popular with many of the people. Had been involved in running the country for years. Had experience of government and control of an army . CLAIM: Harold Godwinson had a great deal of power by 1066. His father had died, so he was now head of the powerful Godwin family. When King Edward the Confessor lay dying in early January 1066, his wife Edith and Harold Godwinson were at his bedside. According to Harold, King Edward's dying words were: " I commend my wife and all my kingdom to your care " If this was true, Harold had a rightful claim as he was carrying out the King's last wish. PROBLEMS WITH THE CLAIM: Did the words really mean King Edward wanted Harold to become King? Was Edward just asking Harold to look after his wife? Why did Edward suddenly change his mind? Do we believe Harold? His only proper witness was his sister! There were probably others there, but nobody who would have been prepared to go against Harold. Harold was crowned King very quickly after King Edward's death. Usually there would be a period of mourning. Was Harold trying to rush because he was covering something up? If King Edward's dying wish was for Harold to become King, then Harold had the rightful claim. A King's dying wish replaced all previous promises or plans.
15. CLAIMANT FACT FILE: HARALD HARDRADA BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Was the King of Norway. A descendant of King Canute of England. Claimed his family was promised it could rule England. Was frequently at war and usually won. Collected lots of taxes from his people to pay for wars. Very unpopular, but powerful. CLAIM: Harald claimed that he had a right to the English throne. He was related to King Canute, the King of England from 1016-1032. Harald said this gave him every right to invade England. PROBLEMS WITH THE CLAIM: Harald's claim was pretty weak. He didn't really care - this was a man who used violence to make his point. He relied on his Viking reputation of being fierce. He was a tremendous warrior, and had travelled across and beyond Europe. Harold Hardrada was a true Viking, and wanted to take England by force.
16. CLAIMANT FACT FILE: EDGAR AETHELING BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Distant relative to King Edward He and his father had a strong claim to the throne. Was Edward the Confessor's closest living relative. Needed support of others to become King. CLAIM: In 1054, Edgar Aetheling and his father returned to England from Hungary. They were distant relatives of King Edward the Confessor. They both had a claim to the throne as blood relatives. Edgar's father died in suspicious circumstances in 1054. This left Edgar alone. In 1066 he was the closest blood relative to King Edward the Confessor. PROBLEMS WITH THE CLAIM: Despite having the closest blood relation to Edward the Confessor, Edgar was too young and powerless to enforce his claim. He did have the support of some nobles, but his age was the major problem - he was too young!

31. H/W W.I.L.F. (Blue book) Pick the claimant you feel has the best case, and you have to script a conversation between them and a judge of your choice who has chosen to become a ‘mentor’ to your candidate to become King of England. They must give you words of advice, encouragement and any other hints and tips to claim the throne. It must be not under 100 words, and no more than 250 words. Remember to include details from the SWOT analysis you’ve completed today and also anything from the script. It can be a two way conversation or just a ‘pep’ talk.
32. H/W SC, “You have the skill, and the money as well as the charisma in order to become King of England, William Duke of Normandy. Edward surely owes you something for all his care and attention to him in his formative years growing up in Normandy. It is beyond belief to believe that Edward would have promised to give the throne to Harold Godwin – he invited you in 1051 to go to London and named you as his successor. Moreover, in 1064, Harold swore an oath over the Bible that he would support your claims to the throne. With my money, and contacts, I can help you assume the role of King of England as long as you promise to lavish me with fine gifts for my mentoring advice!
