The residence of a legendary king was lately found in the UK – all due to an Eleventh century rest room.

His Bosham residence was depicted twice within the tapestry, however the remnants of the residence have been unknown till now. Harold was the final Anglo-Saxon king of England, and he was succeeded by the Norman king William the Conqueror.

“The Tapestry culminates in Williams’s victory at Hastings, but earlier in the artwork Bosham is shown as the place where Harold enjoys a feast in an extravagant hall before setting sail for France, and again on his return,” Newcastle College famous. 

“The location of Harold’s residence at Bosham has never been proved, although it has been suggested that a house in the village — now a private home — stands on the site.”

“The discovery of the latrine therefore indicated to the team that the timber building was of elite status, and almost certainly represents part of Harold’s residence illustrated on the Bayeux Tapestry,” the assertion added. “The hall was one part of a more extensive complex, that also included a church, which still survives.”

Newcastle professor Dr. Duncan Wright stated that he was sure that the positioning was, in truth, Harold’s Bosham residence, in line with the discharge.

“The realization that the 2006 excavations had found, in effect, an Anglo-Saxon en-suite confirmed to us that this house sits on the site of an elite residence pre-dating the Norman Conquest,” Wright defined. “Looking at this vital clue, alongside all our other evidence, it is beyond all reasonable doubt that we have here the location of Harold Godwinson’s private power center, the one famously depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry.”

College of Exeter professor Oliver Creighton, who was concerned within the challenge, echoed Wright’s sentiment.

“The Norman Conquest saw a new ruling class supplant an English aristocracy that has left little in the way of physical remains, which makes the discovery at Bosham hugely significant — we have found an Anglo-Saxon show-home,” he stated.
