Unreferenced date June 2007 Wulfnoth Godwinson 1040 1094 was a younger brother of Harold II of England , the sixth son of Earl Godwin Godwin . He was given as a hostage to Edward the Confessor in 1051 as assurance of Godwin s good behaviour and support during the confrontation between the earl and the king which led to the exile of Godwin and his other sons. Upon Godwin s return to England at the head of an army a year later, following extensive preparations in Ireland and Flanders, Norman supporters of King Edward, and especially Archbishop Robert of Jumieges, fled England. It is likely at this point that Wulfnoth and Hakon, son of Svein Godwinson, Godwin s eldest son were spirited away by the fleeing archbishop, and taken to Normandy, where they were handed over to William I of England Duke William of Normandy . According to Eadmer Eadmer s Historia novorum in Anglia , the reason for Harold s excursion to Normandy in 1064 or 1065 was that he wished to free Wulfnoth as well as his nephew Hakon. To this end he took with him a vast amount of wealth, all of which was confiscated by Count of Ponthieu Count Guy I of Ponthieu when Harold and his party were shipwrecked. However, Harold s reasons for travelling to the continent are not clear, and there are other reasonable explanations, not the least ...
