There are two Harolds depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry,

贝叶挂毯上描绘了两位哈罗德

but which was the real one,the confident king who issued coins bearing the optimistic slogan "Pax",

但哪一位才符合现实 是发行了印着拉丁字"和平"的硬币的

the Latin for peace,or the guilty, twisted usurper,stricken by omens, haunted by a vision of ships?

信心满满的国王 还是愧疚而扭曲 受凶兆折磨 被船只幻象困扰的篡夺者

The phantom fleet which the embroiderers set in a border of the tapestry suggests Harold could all too well imagine the reaction across the Channel to his coronation.

that he'd soon add England to his territories.
