It just shows how globalized history is, and somehow really cosmopolitan. William the Conqueror was fighting at the battle of Hastings Harold, who's mother was Danish. We know the history because of a Medieval chronicler that was from Meissen in Saxony, and the chronicle is called Deeds of Bishops of the Hamburg Church, because it focusses on Hamburg. As a Saxon living in Hamburg, this is very entertaining.
