Wulf the Saxon

Wulf is the Saxon page Earl Harold.  He was carrying a message for his master when he ran into Walter Fitz-Urse by accident but Walter thought he did it on purpose.  Walter was the page of William, the Norman bishop of London.  Walter was angry because Wulf had run into him and some harsh words were said.  Wulf said that he wished that all the Normans would leave Britain and Walter said he wanted to beat Wulf up.  Walter put his hand on his dagger in a threatening manner, but some men in the small crowd that had now gathered round them growled, warning Walter not to draw it.  At this point the bishop came and asked what had happened.  They each told their story, but the bishop believed his page's account over Wulf's.  The bishop took Walter away with him threatening Wulf that he would tell the king of the incident.  When Wulf returned to Harold, Harold had found out what had happened.  Harold forgave him, but because the king now knew about what happened, he had to send Wulf to the country to live until it was safe for him to come back.
