Tostig Godwinson
Chapters 75-77 describe the development of the succession crisis in England following the death of Edward the Confessor and the accession of Harold Godwinson (1064-66). Harold's brother Tostig Godwinson seeks the support of the Danish king Sveinn in invading England (ch. 78), and then Haraldr (ch. 79). Haraldr agrees, campaigns in Yorkshire, but dies at the Battle of Stamford Bridge (chs 80-94; 1066). William the Bastard invades and conquers England (chs 95-97; 1066).
