EDITORS COMMENTS
1066: The Discovery of King Harold II's Body at Waltham Abbey after the Battle of Hastings The year was 1066, and the Battle of Hastings had just taken place on the 14th of October. King Harold II of England had led his army valiantly against the invading Norman forces led by William, the Duke of Normandy, but ultimately, the English army was defeated. The fate of Harold II was uncertain, but rumors spread that he had been killed during the battle. In the aftermath of the battle, the monks of Waltham Abbey, located in Essex, England, made a shocking discovery. While searching the battlefield for relics and treasures, they stumbled upon the body of King Harold II. The monks, who were known for their piety and devotion, took it upon themselves to give the fallen king a proper burial. The monks carefully transported the body of Harold II to Waltham Abbey, where he was given a grand funeral fit for a king. The abbey, which had been founded by King Harold's brother, Edward the Confessor, was the perfect place for Harold's final resting place. The discovery of Harold's body was a significant event in English history. It marked the end of the Anglo-Saxon era and the beginning of the Norman Conquest. The monks' diligent efforts to give Harold a proper burial ensured that his legacy would not be forgotten. Today, the exact location of Harold's tomb within Waltham Abbey is unknown, but his memory lives on. The abbey, which has undergone numerous restorations and renovations over the centuries, remains an important historical site and a testament to the rich history of England. This photograph, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the essence of that fateful day in October 1066 when the monks of Waltham Abbey discovered the body of King Harold II. It is a poignant reminder of the past and the enduring power of history to inspire and inform us.
