advance of the hermit of Chester (1066A.D.)

centrestage today
old Bill, the conquering Norman,
illegitimate issue of Rollo’s line

beside him, blinded
Godwinson, that winsome namesake
of Hardrada; quarrelsome pair

from 9am to dusk
Normandy fled and turned around
a lethal dance til Christmas Day

early that fateful day
brothers Gyrth and Leofwine fell
Harold overpowered four to one

1066 Heard Harold couldn't make it,
He had something in his eye.
