Possible Assassain

 After Harold became king, Duke William requested that Harold come to his castle.  Since Harold had sworn allegiance to William, William now wanted to see what Harold's intentions were toward him.  Harold had tried to get someone else to be king instead of him, but the people wanted him to be king.  Now that he was king, there was no way that he could keep his vow to William without incurring the extreme displeasure of the people and everyone who had made him king.

   If Harold were to say that he didn't want to keep his vow to William, there would be trouble because William would tell the pope who could then excommunicate Harold for not keeping a vow that was made on the Holy Relics.

   While they were in Duke William's land, Wulf went to visit Guy and and his family.  Guy's father hinted that there may eventually be and assassin who would want to kill Harold to get him out of the way so that William could become king.  He didn't know for certain that there would be such and attempt, but it was a good possibility, since assassinations had happened before in Britain and there would probably be people willing to kill Harold to get a good standing in William's eyes.

   Wulf listened to Guy's father and so decided to stay in court with Osgod when they got back to Harold's castle.  When they were there for a few days they found that a man named Walter Fitz-Urse had come back to Britain after being away for a little while.  Fitz-Urse had been punished by Harold for something and so he had reason to dislike him.  Fitz-Urse also had a quick-temper and he was hotheaded.  Because of this Wulf decided to have someone watch the man to make sure he didn't attempt to kill Harold.  Osgod knew that at his father's forge there was a boy who was always up to tricks and didn't like forge work very well.  Because of this Osgod got him and Wulf told him what he wanted him to do.  The boy said he would do anything for his king and he seemed very trustworthy and so they had him do the job.  

   The boy would follow Fitz-Urse very carefully and he would be able to watch his every move so that Fitz-Urse would not be able to do anything bad.
