Harold Godwineson was king of England from January 1066 until his death at Hastings in October of that year. For much of the reign of Edward the Confessor, who was married to Harold's sister Eadgyth, the Godwine family, led by Earl Godwine, had dominated English politics. In The Rise and Fall of the House of Godwine , Emma Mason tells the turbulent story of a remarkable family which, until Harold's unexpected defeat, looked far more likely than the dukes of Normandy to provide the long-term rulers of England. But for the Norman Conquest, an Anglo-Saxon England ruled by the Godwine dynasty would have developed very differently from that dominated by the Normans.

This book was most helpful to me in my research of my ancestor, King Harold II. I knew, of course, that he was killed at the battle of Hastings in 1066, but tht was all that I knew about him and when I found out that he was my ancestor, I wanted to know more --and this book gave me more, much more. I learned his father's name as well as others of his family thus taking me back another generation or more. It was easy reading and i thoroughly enjoyed it.
