http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-sussex-29612656 An underground scan is being carried out at Waltham Abbey in Essex in a hunt for evidence that King Harold survived the Battle of Hastings. Novelist and amateur historian Peter Burke wants to test his theory that the king recovered and lived for 40 years after the battle on 14 October 1066. He is challenging historical records which state that King Harold was killed by William the Conqueror's soldiers. Battle Historical Society said the theory was unlikely to be true. Mr Burke is sponsoring a search for the remains of King Harold, widely believed to be buried in the grounds of Waltham Abbey. I don't think it's likely to be true either. Still, it'll be interesting to see whether they can come up with any evidence! |

it is entirely possible, a small chance but possible that it's true. |
