Leader in Battle

[edit]

As far as I know, Leofwine Godwinson, not Gyrth, offered Harold to lead the troops into battle. KarlNapf 20:48, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Correct tenure?

[edit]

According to Michael John Key (2022: 155f), Gyrth 'occupied [the Earldom of East Anglia] barely six months' in 1057, the result of a peace agreement with King Edward by which the former earl, Ælfgar, 'was fully reinstated to his earldom.' Brox Sox (talk) 09:01, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
