Glen,

It may be just a spelling error, but Duke William trounced King Harold
Godwinson (with an "o") of England who had just previously defeated Harald
Hardrada (with an "a"), the Viking, at the village of Stamford Bridge.

I agree!  Duke William was a large and strong man!  Definitely not a
"poofter," he was a decendant of Rollo (Rolf, Hrolf), the Viking that was
offered the lands known as Normandy (land of the "Northman").

Gab.
