A lot of you may know Earl Godwin from the show Vikings Valhalla. Here he is presented to us as a calculating man in the court of Emma of Normandy and Cnut the Great. Today I will be taking you to 11th century England where the Anglo-Saxon dynasty had been pushed aside and Viking Kings had taken over. Godwin would use the ongoing chaos to his advantage in order to gain power, this is his story.
