Harold Godwinson
I stand before you all, respected members of the Witan and honoured noblemen, as one of Harold Godwinson's many loyal knights to mourn the death of the great King Edward and to discuss the future of England and how Sir Harold could make it better. Being born and bred in England, I think we must all agree that he is the a better contender than all the rest. Do you want a foreign king to rule your country? Not one of the other challengers for the throne are English apart from Edwin, however he is far too young to rule our country.
The situation is that England needs a king, Edward sadly died three weeks ago bringing shock to you and I. Harold was promised the throne in King Edward’s dying wish, even I was there to witness it. A king’s dying wish replaces all other promises. Furthermore, they are both brothers in law and have always been great friends, almost like proper brothers. Harold is ready to serve our country, to serve our people, to serve our needs.
Harold's father, Godwin of Wessex, was the most powerful nobleman in England, meaning Harold comes from a very wealthy family. Because of this, he is now Duke of Wessex and has control of a huge army. A huge army that will be a the disposal of the English people.
The other “competitors” have many problems with their so called claims. William was sent to swear an oath of support to King Edward. Harald Hardrada's claim is very weak and uses violence to make his point. Do you want a king who kills innocent people? Edgar is just far too young and powerless to take the throne.
If you vote for Harold to rule this country, He will bring change to this country, He will bring better lives to everyone, He will bring a better future for you and your country. In everything he achieves, in every decision he makes, he will make sure it benefits you. We all know that England can be better and I assure you that Harold will make that happen!
well done
