Author’s Quest to Prove Anglo-Saxon Monarch Died 30 Years After Battle of Hastings and Is Buried in Essex Churchyard
6th September 2014
The project will be charted by Oval Films, which also helped to find Richard III’s remains in a car park in Leicester.
It will follow amateur historian Peter Burke, who has written two historical novels on the times of Harold, and claims the king was wounded but survived.
He believes he died 30 years later and was buried near the east wall of the former abbey that dates to the late 11th century.
And if he can get a best-selling book out of it, that’s good too.
