It's nice to see Edgar Atheling get recognition as rightful heir, but disappointing that his father Edward is never mentioned early on as having returned from exile with his young family to take his place as successor to Edward the Confessor, (he was son of Edmund Ironside). Edward Atheling was murdered, though we don't know by who, and was never able to meet with Edward the Confessor upon arrival back in England.

Such an unceremonious end for the last great Viking warrior; Harald Hardrada is fascinating and terrifying at the same time.
