Place reservation for The house of Godwin : the rise and fall of an Anglo-Saxon dynastyGodwin and his family dominated English politics for almost half a century, establishing themselves as the most influential and powerful dynasty in Anglo-Saxon England. Earl Godwin established himself as Cnut's most senior advisor and became even more influential during the reign of Edward the Confessor, seeing his daughter Edith become queen and his two eldest sons, Swegn and Harold, given earldoms. After Godwin's death four of his sons held earldoms, and Harold was to emerge as Edward the Confessor's senior earl and eventually become king of England. This book considers the key events throughout this period.
