The rumours are true.

Sweyn slipped his escort
outside Orleans.

He's gone to ground
somewhere in France.

00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,560
If he's raising an army against you,
he's doing it well out of sight.

I need to know if it's true.

00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:49,880
I want you to be absolutely sure.

Why do you have to deliver

Edward's named you his successor

Wait, he just gives me his crown?
It's that simple?

No.

He's offering you something

Edward is king. The crown is his.

It is the three earls who decide
who sits on the English throne.

Who are controlled by you.

Why interfere with it?

88
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,960
An alliance between Normandy and the
earls of England would be strong.

It would be the strongest in Europe.

180
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,960
Until then,
the Earl will look after you.

181
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,040
Temperature is included.
Come on. Come on.

182
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:09,240
There you go.

183
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,560
Are you hot in there?

184
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,760
Kicked me.

185
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,520
Shut up. He's hot in there.

186
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,600
<font color="
Just kiss me.

187
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,280
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

188
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,360
KNOCKING AT DOOR

189
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,080
Enter.

190
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:48,800
Speak.

191
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,400
It's the feast of Whitsun, my lord.

192
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:53,720
It was Earl Siward's tradition

193
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,080
for his people to receive food
<font color="

194
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,280
But you are the Earl.

195
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,520
Your word is law.

196
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,480
Very well, then.
My word is, let the people in.

197
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,840
Give them the food
and shelter they need.

198
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,280
Make sure there
is constant supervision.

199
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,360
<font color="
and equal share.

200
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,880
No-one is to take more than their
family demands,

201
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,440
and no single man on horseback
is to take extra provisions

202
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,840
without specific reason,
to be judged by me.

203
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,880
<font color="

204
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,960
Thank you.

205
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,840
Impressive.
The Earl is both wise and kind.

206
00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,320
BELL TOLLS

207
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Excuse the chaos.
It's Whitsun week.

208
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,880
You celebrate with sport?

209
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,120
With everything.

210
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,960
<font color="
whatever the people want.

211
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,520
And then on Sunday, the...Bishop
of Bayeux gives us his blessing

212
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,840
over the holy relics.
What are you doing here?

213
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,320
I heard you were in Brittany.

214
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:18,920
I know the Baron.
<font color="

215
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,000
We didn't need your help, Baldwin.
Really?

216
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,040
Since when?

217
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,080
Earl Harold. So nice to see you.
How's Judith?

218
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,400
She's well.

219
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,680
This is my wife, Edith.

220
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,840
I'm like dawn to the sunrise -

221
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:36,440
<font color="

222
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,880
How kind, Count Baldwin.

223
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,120
Where's the prince regent of France?

224
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:42,840
You're not at his shoulder.

225
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,160
Philip? No, no. He's safe in France.
Normandy's no place for a child.

226
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,600
But what do I know?
So, good day, all.

227
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,920
<font color="

228
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,080
I think he wants to know
why Harold is in Normandy.

229
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,200
No. Not about your father.
About Harold's offer.

230
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,400
Can I trust him? He's right
when he talks about strength.

231
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,600
There's not a territory in Europe

232
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,880
<font color="
if we're backed by England.

233
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,040
I can't have people thinking

234
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,760
I need someone else
to fight my battles, Matilda.

235
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,080
Henry's death has got people
thinking about your position.

236
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,480
You're vulnerable without him.

237
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,200
<font color="
all this risk

238
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,840
to set up a trap he could have set
in a dozen different ways?

239
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:28,640
This is real.

240
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,920
He's offering you power.
But not the crown.

241
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,840
Does that really make such
a difference?

242
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:39,560
<font color="
and it's good for us.

243
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:44,880
Come over here.

244
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,800
It'll give us tremendous strength -

245
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,080
and if it doesn't work,
you just walk away.

246
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,640
So I suggest you find agreement.

247
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,560
Stop talking. Find agreement.
<font color="

248
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,600
Find agreement. Stop talking.
Find agreement. Stop talking.

249
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,000
Find agreement.

250
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,560
Don't make decisions for me.
William...

251
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,160
Henry made decisions for me. Don't.

252
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:15,830
All right.

253
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,590
<font color="

254
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:26,720
We'll see.

255
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:45,920
What the hell is this?
It's for your leg.

256
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:48,880
Come here.

257
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,560
What's my leg done to deserve that?

258
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,000
TALLIFER LAUGHS

00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,360

<font color="

261

when you turn quickly,

262
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,880
it will take
the pressure off your knee.

263
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,600
It'll take the fucking cap
off my knee, that's what it'll do.

264
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:18,720
Take it off.

265
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:21,920
Off!

266
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,640
If you stopped soldiering,
<font color="

267
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:37,040
Leave it.

Let's give the bastard another go.

Your Majesty.

272

Your mother believed the ownership
of the wool barge

273
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,360
to be a matter of the utmost imp...

00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,960
My mother, she made me do it.

She made me.

What? Nothing. Nothing at all.

00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,000
Your Grace.

I'm here for the Whitsun Mass.

No. Yes.

You are the Bishop of Bayeux?

296
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,240
Oh, yes. Your money has spread
far and wide in Bayeux

297

<font color="
right in the inner circle.

298
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,480
The Church is
the centre of everything

299
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:27,160
and all these years, I had no idea.
None.

300
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,800
Jesus wept. No, Jesus defines.

301
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:32,520
He defines me.

Well, the Church is built
on stories, William.

They won't even blink without
opening that big book of theirs

311
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,240

312

Does He hear me, Gunhild?

Does He?

His voice is gone.

319
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:40,880
She's with Him.

320
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,520
That's it, isn't it?

321
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,600
My mother has His ear now.

Edward.

326
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,000
Could you have done what you did
without God's sanction?

327
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,600
Surely everything happens...

328
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:31,400
..every single thing,
<font color="

00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,520
It does.

330
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,600
Then there's your answer.

331
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:40,920
You did nothing wrong.

332
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,680
God's love, it fills this place
for you.

333
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,560
It fills my heart. I can feel it.

334
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:58,360
Everything is to His plan.

335
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,280
You know it too in your heart.

00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:03,360
<font color="

337
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:06,520
His will be done.

338
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,360
Harold gave me the impression
they were ready to agree.

339
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,600
And I'm sure they will.

340
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,600
I'm simply proposing an alternative
in case they don't.

341
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,280
Go on. When Harold's father
was Earl,

342
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,760
<font color="

343
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,600
but he did it in the name
of the kings he served.

344
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,360
Can Harold not agree
to do the same for William?

345
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,040
William as king? As king.

346
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:20,160
So William comes to England
and he's crowned as king.

347
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,520
<font color="

348
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,800
With Harold as his adviser
and his most trusted proxy.

349
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,880
It offers peace and stability,

350
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:28,400
which is no different an outcome

351
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,280
to what Harold's offering William
right now.

352
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,200
Except Harold will be second.
<font color="

353
00:25:34,360 --> 00:25:37,520
Neither will William. Matilda,
England will not accept him.

354
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,200
The days of English people kneeling
to a foreign king are over.

355
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,040
And you're so sure they'll kneel
to a Saxon one?

356
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,160
<font color="
a difference to them

357
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,840
if their king is Norman or Saxon?

358
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,560
Well, when it makes
a difference between peace or war.

359
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:52,640
And Harold will win.

360
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,400
It'll be bloody and terrible,
but he will win.

361
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:56,760
<font color="

362
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,040
Do you want to be Queen, Edith?

363
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,640
Is that what's in there,
scratching away?

364
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,800
One week, and you think you know me?

365
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,680
Let us not fence.

366
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,040
Both our husbands want that crown.

367
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,400
Question is,
<font color="

368
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:21,720
That is what we must prepare for.

369
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:33,360
I have food.

370
00:26:34,360 --> 00:26:35,720
They're meant to bring it to you.

371
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,800
Yes,
but this way they give it to me,

372
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:40,400
and then it looks
like I've done everything.

373
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,960
See?

374
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,400
<font color="

375
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,200
I'm putty in your hands.

376
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,960
I forgot something.

377
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,200
Tossy?

378
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,480
But it's not time. It is time.
We're having a baby now.

379
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,760
But Harold's midwives aren't...
Find someone, anyone.

380
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,160
<font color="

381
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:10,800
Hey. Hey.

382
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,000
JUDITH GASPS

383
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,520
Don't worry.
Harold won't let me down.

384
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,200
Doesn't really make sense, does it?

385
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:33,880
When's the last time you saw a lion?

386
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:41,560
Er, never. I thought you were more
<font color="

387
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,520
That would look good on the banner.

388
00:27:45,360 --> 00:27:47,640
Yours is a...snake?

389
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:50,320
Oh, very good. A dragon.

390
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,680
I've never seen a dragon.
Massive, fire-breathing monsters.

391
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,280
Looks amazing on a banner.
Oh, you English.

392
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:03,200
<font color="

393
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:05,720
Can you and I reach an agreement?

394
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:08,440
I think we can figure it out.

395
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:10,560
So it's settled.

396
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,760
We can agree on control
of the crown.

397
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,440
It's settled.
After the Whitsun Mass,

398
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,640
we'll announce it to the world.

399
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,200
<font color="
but Edward needs to hear it first.

400
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,240
I need to tell him myself.
And I need to tell my people.

401
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,040
You need Normandy's loyalty, Harold.

402
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,240
That's what you want, isn't it?
That's why you came.

403
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,400
Loyalty comes at a price.

404
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,760
<font color="

405
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,680
My offer was clear.

406
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,360
I haven't been dishonest with you.

407
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,840
My father once told me
a story about King Cnut.

408
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,560
After he'd defeated Ethelred,

409
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,600
when it was clear he would be
the next king of England,

410
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,000
<font color="
a choice -

411
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:00,960
remain loyal to the dead king,
or swear their loyalty to Cnut.

412
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:05,480
Every man who swore their loyalty
to Cnut was put to the sword,

413
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,600
and the ones who remained loyal
to the dead king were spared.

414
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,400
<font color="

415
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:12,040
It was said he could only ever trust

416
00:29:12,040 --> 00:29:14,160
the man who remained loyal
to his own heart.

417
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,400
And that's why
my father stayed alive.

418
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:22,280
We can share control, William.

419
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,560
We can. We just need to trust
each other.

420
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:30,320
<font color="

421
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,720
Don't worry, Harold.
Tomorrow, we'll find our agreement.

422
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:38,800
Come on.

423
00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,280
I just wanted
a straight answer from him,

424
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:46,440
but he wouldn't give me one.

425
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,320
He's hiding something from me,
I know it.

426
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,200
<font color="
to find out?

427
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,280
Harold, if you make an enemy of him,

428
00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,040
there will be a full-scale invasion,

429
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,640
and the whole country
will get dragged into it.

430
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,800
Let William have the crown.

431
00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,520
You will still have
<font color="

432
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:08,720
No, Edith. No.
Wessex has never been conquered.

433
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,320
Alfred never let that happen.
I can't risk that, I won't.

434
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:13,480
My father knew that.

435
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,400
What did you promise him?

436
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,440
When he was dying,
what did you promise your father?

437
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:32,200
<font color="

438
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,440
He begged me to take the crown.
Oh, my God.

439
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,080
I promised him this, Edith.

440
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,760
On his deathbed, I gave him my word.

441
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:47,760
You are just like him.
No, because my father was wrong.

442
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,360
This is not about peace.

443
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:50,920
<font color="

444
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,280
I cannot let William even think
that he can take the crown.

445
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,160
Besides, Gunhild will provide us
with an heir.

446
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:01,880
She has to.

447
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,400
THUNDER RUMBLES

448
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:41,960
I...

I hear His music.

450
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,120
I hear it too.

451
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,400
<font color="
for Whitsun, Edward.

452
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,000
He is amongst us.

453
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,000
For you.

454
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,360
F-f-for me?

455
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:24,240
Oh! For us.

456
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:27,400
His will be done.

457
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,920
You and I, together.

458
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:33,960
KING EDWARD GASPS

459
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:36,160

Oh! Edward?

HE GROANS

No no.

No, no. Edward! No, no, no, no.

466

Oh, fuck.

467

You bastard!

468
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,320
Fucking bastard! No!

THUNDER RUMBLES

I don't care
what Edward's reasons are.

473
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,360
That crown has been given to me.

474
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,000
Harold is still offering you
the power it represents.

475
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:36,360
There's something
he's not telling me.

476
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,440
<font color="
an enemy of him. Then what?

477
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:45,680
I'm still the heir. It changes
nothing. Robert needs stability.

478
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,480
Do you really want him to be
fighting wars

479
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:48,600
for the rest of his life?

the things I've been,

I'll make sure of it.

The crown is not important.

483
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,600
But if you make the wrong choice,
you'll take us to war.

484

Make the right choice for all of us.

00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:08,280
SWEYN: Make sure there's
someone there, please.

539
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,720
So this is my strategy...

540
00:39:10,720 --> 00:39:13,000
INAUDIBLE SPEECH

541
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,720
You fool.

542
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,400
<font color="

543
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:29,640
We'll get this covered.

544
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,280
I'm wondering, do you have provision
for that amount...?

545
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,960
CROWD CHEERS

546
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:57,320
..and as our Lord Jesus,

547
00:40:57,320 --> 00:41:01,080
host of hosts, takes his place
in the highest seat of heaven,

548
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:05,080
may the glory of

549
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,360
For this is Whitsun.

550
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:13,880
It is the day of the Spirit,
and we are His disciples.

551
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,480
Here.

552
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,600
Now.

553
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,960
BLADE STABS, SWEYN GROANS

554
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:43,920
You.

555
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,320
Do I get a prayer?

556
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:50,480
Not where you're going.

557
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,920
<font color="
for him down there...

558
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:56,960
THOMAS STABS AGAIN

559
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:14,840
For if God is our Father
and Jesus is His Son...

560
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,320
..then William truly is our spirit,

561
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:20,840
our guiding light,

562
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:22,320
our divine force...

563
00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:24,200
Thank you, Your Grace.

564
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:25,360
<font color="

565
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,640
Another Whitsun spent celebrating
with friends and family.

566
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:37,280
How lucky are we to be here at home?

567
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,400
Now, this year, we have even more
reason to celebrate

568
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,040
as we are honoured by the presence
of our friends from England.

His beautiful wife, Edith.

570
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,400
Harold?

571
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:54,880
Come on, Harold. Come on.

572
00:42:59,240 --> 00:43:03,640
Now, this man, you saw him today.
I mean, what a beast.

573
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,720
The strongest man I ever fought.

574
00:43:07,720 --> 00:43:08,920
ONLOOKERS: Hear, hear.

575
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,520
<font color="
you cannot lose.

576
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:12,880
Give me your hand.

577
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:22,760
You saved my life.

578
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:24,360
I saved yours.

579
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:29,960
We're bound together, forever.

580
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,440
Normandy and Wessex.

581
00:43:33,440 --> 00:43:34,800
Together.

582
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,440
ALL: Together!

583
00:43:37,720 --> 00:43:40,200
BELL CHIMES

00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:53,120
<font color="
God has blessed Normandy.

585
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,240
Edward, King of England,
has chosen William, our Duke,

586
00:43:58,240 --> 00:44:01,400
to be his successor
to the throne of England.

587
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,640
And now, with God as his witness,

588
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,560
and over the holy relics of Bayeux,

589
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,240

590
00:44:12,240 --> 00:44:17,200
to William of Normandy
as the next King of England.

591
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:18,840
And as all of Europe knows...

592
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:22,680
..a Godwin never breaks his word.

593
00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:25,560
That is true.

I...

..to the rightful heir of England.

599
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:46,600
I give you my word on it.
