Harold.......The King!

   There was a kind of marriage in England called a left-hand marriage.  It was when a man married a woman who was of lower rank than he was.  This marriage could be broken off if the man ever didn't want to be married to the woman any more.
   Harold had a wife who's name was Edith.  She was very pretty and they loved each other very much.  She, however, was of lower rank than he was.
   King Edward was sick and was not getting any better and it started looking like he would die.  The next choice of king by the people lay with Harold.  If Harold were to gain the throne there would be trouble with the two men who deposed Tostig, so Harold would have to marry into their family to keep peace.
   The only way that he could marry into their family would be to get rid of Edith, but he loved her too much to do that.  Edith, however, thought that it was better for Harold to sacrifice everything for his country and not stay married to her.  He tried to dissuade her, but in the end he had to do as she said and marry into the other two men's family.
   The king then died and made Harold king.
