A poem about...

Harold Godwinson.
It's 1066 and the Battle of Hastings, who will win: EdCon, Harry G, Harry H or BillCon?

Harry G

You’ll have heard of me, Harold Godwinson,
At getting ahead, I’m never outdone
When my sister married the English King
I sought all the power her success could bring

I became the Earl of Wessex, such a powerful bloke
And now I am the ruler of all English folk

With no heir apparent, King Edward died
So the Anglo-Saxon nobles gathered to decide
Who could save them from Duke William? Who should rule the realm?
Who was rich and powerful and would not be overwhelmed?

Those Saxon Earls agreed that I should take the helm
And now I am the ruler of the English realm
