	Harold The Last Anglo-Saxon King by Ian W. Walker King Harold Godwineson (c. 1022-66) is one of history’s shadowy figures, known mainly for his defeat and death at the Battle of Hastings.

In truth, he deserves to be recalled as one of England’s greatest rulers. ‘Harold: The Last Anglo-Saxon King’ sets out to correct this distorted image by presenting Harold’s life in its proper context, offering the first full-length critical study of his career in the years leading up to 1066.
