Harold’s mother Githa had instructed two monks [1][2] to offer Harold’s weight in gold for the release of his body. It still remains unclear as to whether William accepted or refused this offer. Some of the early manuscripts indicate that Harold was buried on the coast overlooking the sea, whilst other manuscripts claim that Harold is buried at Waltham Abbey. A third possibility is that Harold was buried at Bosham Church. In 1875 a coffin was found under the church. This coffin may contain the bones of King Harold. In October 2014, a claim was made that Harold was buried at St. Michaels' Church, Bishop's Stortford. In the final part of this scene we see Harold’s body, draped in a purple cloak, taken for burial. The burial was entrusted to William Malet. In the lower border the fable of ‘The labourer and the Nightingale’ appears. The moral to this fable is ‘Never believe a captives promise.’
