Exhumation of King Harold Denied
Submitted by Milica on Fri, 2003-12-26 11:35
A church court has denied researchers the right to examine the remains of what
might have been King Harold.
In a followup to last week's story, Chancellor of Chichester Diocese, the
Worshipful Mark Hill, has refused permission to exhume what might have been the
remains of England's King Harold. The tomb, on the grounds of a medieval church
in West Sussex, was discovered and opened in 1954. Scientists had hoped to
compare DNA samples with known descendents to prove - or disprove - that the
headless, legless body was indeed that of the king killed in the Battle of
Hastings.
