Bosham

It started here.

This is Bosham on the south coast.

Today, it's a picturesque little pleasure harbor.

A thousand years ago, it was a hub port for the Saxon territory of Wessex.

The Godwines were no longer invincible.

Edward passed judgment.

Sweyn was to sail from Bosham within three days, or pay with his life.

The rest of the Godwines were 70 miles along the coast.

... and then fry them up.

Well, and my, my dear friend Digby used to live in Bosham, just south of Chichester, and you...

I would walk on the beach there, and there would all be all these oyster shells from...

And I would think, "But when, when was this?" Ancient, you know, olden times, you know-

long before julius caesar's landing in england the celts were the masters and left their impress in no uncertain way as may be evidenced from the place-names and from such words as bard druid breeches bog kilt reel tartan clan basket coat flannel gown cart c it was not until a d seventy eight to eighty five that the obsession of the romans became definite and that the old celtic civilization came under the spell of roman art roman remains I've previously alluded to the sculptured bronze found at Richborough Castle in Kent, depicting a Roman piper playing on the bagpipe, but it must be borne in mind that the Celts in Britain had the bagpipe a full century before the time of Caesar, and therefore the Romans merely popularised this martial instrument.

Anglo-Saxon Pipes Between the years 450 and 580, the Anglo-Saxons made a conquest of England, but the Irish Celts were the founders of Lindisfarne, Ripon, Durham, Lichfield, Tilbury, Dunwich, Burgcastle, Bosham, Malmesbury, Glastonbury, etc.

We are consequently not surprised to find the bagpipes popular among the Anglo-Saxons, and the instrument continued in vogue all through the wars of the 8th to the 11th century.

As is well known, the generic term minstrels included bagpipers as well as harpers, though, as has previously been stated, the harp was the more aristocratic instrument.

And so if you know what to look for, you can see this heritage kind of mummified all over the country.

Elite individuals, and we can see this in the Bayeux Tapestry with Harold's Manor at Bosham, would have fortified residences, almost certainly containing what we like to call hall, chamber and chapel.

So the hall where you have your audiences residing.

The chamber where you retire to, your personal residence, and your chapel where you can worship.

The men have drained their horns of mead.

The ships dance on the wave at Bosham.

I must away.

Alas! Farewell, sweet Edith.

Elmsworth, Threepwood, these familiar names to Woodhouse fans.

And also there was a beach road nearby and a nearby village called Bosham.

For those who don't know, these are all character names from the Blanding's Castle saga.

So this school, Emsworth, or Emsworth House, he's clearly spending a lot of time thereabouts.

Instead, Duke William ordered that it be thrown into the sea.

Other traditions suggest that it was buried at the church in Bosham, a village that Harold had quite well-known connections to, a claim that was partially supported by the discovery there of an Anglo-Saxon coffin in 1954.

But whether this was the grave of Harold Godwinson remains a mystery, and it's never been firmly established either way what happened.

As for the rest of the English dead, their bodies, including some of Harold's brothers and housecarls, were left on the battlefield for the crows, although some were later removed by relatives.

And that will be in each of these different stages.

It'll be in the period of Elul, because Elul, what's the best way to prepare for the Yom Hayah Din? Is to tell their Boshom, this is my priority.

This is what I want.

That's my priority.
