Harold is crowned King of England on 6th January 1066 - Edward’s funeral was
that very morning. The new king sits on a throne with nobles to the left and
Archbishop Stigand to the right. At the far side people cheer him. On the far
right Halley's comet appears; people think it is an evil omen and are terrified.
News of the comet is brought to Harold; beneath him a ghostly fleet of ships
appears in the lower border- a hint of the Norman invasion to come.
