King Harold Godwinson

With the battle nearly won

Got an arrow in the eye

And waved the English throne goodbye.

Neatly written again. I guess even if the arrow in the eye were mythical, it would seem to be symbolic of the conquest. Rhiannon

Indeed Rhiannon. A very perceptive remark!

King Harald Hardrada

Was like Harold Godwinson only harder

Not content with the rule of Norway alone

He made unsuccessful attempts on the Danish and English throne.

Oh yes Elsie, I'm beginning to think in Clerihews. Great fun.
