Fascinating stuff Helen. you have rekindled my interest in King Harold. I have been busy reading most of Nigel Tranter's historical novels about early Scottish history, Robert the Bruce and the Wallace, very bloodthirsty lot. I do share your views though about the Normans. Once having been red-haired I do support the Saxons.
Fairplay to you Hellen, I believe you are correct about William not having a right to the crown of England and the Norman propaganda is still alive and well. I notice that Hollywood are trying to get into the action and are making a buddy movie about Harold and William. Lets hope that this propaganda doesnt fly.
