  3. Have you ever considered the possibility that Godred Crovan and Eystein Ørre were one and the same? Harald Hardrada may have been invading England under the flag of Byzantium, and William the Bastard was contesting for Rome. Ørre was likely a turncoat, delaying his entry into the battle at Stamford Bridge in order to ensure Harald’s defeat.
    King Orry or King Ørre?
