As news of Harold’s betrayal is carried across the sea to Normandy, William begins building a large fleet of invasion ships before he sets sail for the southern coast of England. William depicts his army’s passage across the Channel in their Viking-inspired ships. The formidable English fleet that guarded the coast failed to intercept William’s army, who waited for the winds to change and set sail under the cover of darkness. The scene’s Latin inscription, ‘Et venit ad Pevenesae’ translates to ‘and he came to Pevensey’, a village in East Sussex, England, and tells of how William’s armada landed on English soil on 28th September 1066. They marched east along the coast, where, to defend their position, they set about building a fortification at Hastings, the first Norman-style castle to be built in England.

CORONATION

Following the oath that he swore in Bayeux, Normandy, Harold returns to England where he is at the aging King Edward’s bedside as he passes away. It is thought that Edward’s final action was to bequeath the English crown to Harold, who willingly accepted, and was coronated the very next day on 6th January 1066. Coronation depicts this moment, as Harold sits on his throne wearing the royal crown and holding an orb and a sceptre, symbols of Christian rule and royal authority.The new King’s loyal subjects offer him praise from the edges of the scene.
