Important to note: There were no clear rules for succession in 1066. Today the crown would go to the eldest son or the nearest blood relative following this. In 1066 it was usually a combination of force, luck and powerful friends that secured the throne. English Customs – the dying words of the King were more important than any promises made before.

Key words: Illegitimate– a child born to unmarried parents, this could affect a claim to the throne. Under oath – a promise using God as a witness. Witan – a group of powerful English nobles who acted as advisors to the King before 1066. Sub-regulus – literally ‘below the king’ meaning acting as the King’s deputy. Wessex – The richest part of England and an earldom controlled by the Godwin family before 1066. Your task … Using pages 10 – 11 in the red Norman textbook create a top trumps card for each claimant.
