Guy, who was a page in the court of the Duke who made Wulf and Beorn his guests (Duke William), invited Wulf and his friend to his home which was five miles from the castle. They went and visited with Guy's parents and sister and talked about the differences between the Norman ways and the Saxons.
Wulf kept comparing the Saxons and the Normans and thinking about their differences, some of which were good and others were not. Beorn thought that the Saxons didn't need to change, but Wulf thought that if he was king he would want to make changes to the way they ran things.
The Normans ate their meals on time and Wulf thought this was a good idea. If men had full stomachs then they would be more ready to fight, then if they were fighting on empty stomachs, which the Saxons sometimes had to do.
The next day they went to where Duke Harold was waiting with his courtiers and servants. Duke William paid the ransom price for Harold and then made Harold and his attendants his guests.
