Years: 1066 - 1066
October
Stigand had worked with Earl Edwin and Earl Morcar, as well as Archbishop Ealdred of York, to put Edgar the Ætheling on the throne after the death of Harold at the Battle of Hastings.
This plan had not come to fruition, however, due to opposition from the northern earls and some of the other bishops.
William moves up the Thames valley to cross the river at Wallingford, where he receives the submission of Stigand.
