James Norton and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau will star in a show about Harold of Wessex vs William of Normandy, called King and Conqueror. As a devoted fan of the British monarchy, let me just say that I hope good king Harold sees that French bastard off properly. Wait, I've just been handed an update. Long live King William! Harold was Anglo-Saxon, thus of German descent. And we don't want any Germans near the throne, do we? Er, hang on, what's that? Oh dear.

OTOH, regicide, setting his family on the throne. Must feel like coming home for Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. :)

All joking aside, I'm interested at this stage. We'll see how it goes.

Okay, now THIS is something I wanna see.  I do quibble a bit with the notion that neither man had any design on the British throne.  Because they both did, hence the actual invasion and Harold's resistance.

This sounds interesting. I’m only Team Will because he was the great nephew of one of my fav historical figures - Emma of Normandy.

I'm intrigued.  I'd be curious who they end up casting as Harald Hardrada of Norway.  If not for Hardrada (a fascinating character in how own right) Harold would have probably defeated William.

Probably. It's too bad he didn't any time to celebrate victory over Hardrada. I agree that dude was awesome. Not just defeating him but killing him in battle was a huge victory.
