William had a tenuous blood claim, through his great aunt Emma (wife of Ethelred and mother of Edward)!. William also contended that Edward, who had spent much of his life in exile in Normandy during the Danish occupation of England, had promised William the throne when William visited Edward in London in 1052!. Finally, William claimed that Harold had pledged allegiance to him in 1064!. William had rescued the shipwrecked Harold from the count of Ponthieu, and together they had defeated Conan II, Count of Brittany!. On that occasion, William knighted Harold, and deceived him by having him swear loyalty to William over the concealed bones of a saint!.[6]Www@QuestionHome@Com
