Note 6 — Chapter XI · THE ELECTION OF HAROLD.[1] January 5th–April 16th, 1066.

Reading edition

The Biographer (p. 431) describes those present as “Regina terræ assidens ejusque pedes super gremium suum fovens, ejusque germanus Dux Haroldus, et Rodbertus regalis palatii stabilitor et ejusdem Regis propinquus (?), Stigandus quoque Archiepiscopus.” Æthelred (400) gives the same list, but stops to abuse Stigand. The four will be seen in the Tapestry (pl. vii. Bruce, p. 74) as I have described them.
