Harold left from Bosham and was blown off course, landing at Ponthieu. The Bayeux Tapestry and other Norman sources state that Harold then swore an oath to William to support his claim to the English throne. After Edward the Confessor’s death, the Normans were quick to claim that in accepting the crown of England, Harold had broken this alleged oath.
