The Great Bribery Crisis in England

The records of endowments and gifts made to this place speak of shocking extravagance. The church was most likely dedicated in ten 60, just as it was probably becoming all too obvious that edward was never going to have a child of his own. And the god an family involvement continued afterwards. In fact, even harold's first wife, edith, was apparently involved and in contact with the house even as late as ten 66. So much like westminster abbey under king edward, a lot of labor and wealth was being marshalled for this project. But i don't know, maybe they could have put that money toward something like an improved navy to protect against invasion.
