The Battle of Hastings had just taken place on that fateful day, forever altering the course of England. As the Norman-French army clashed with the English forces under King Harold's command, chaos and devastation ensued. The decisive victory by William, Duke of Normandy marked the beginning of the Norman conquest.

The image captures both sorrow and determination etched upon Edith's face as she tirelessly combs through piles of fallen warriors. Her love for Harold drives her to seek closure amidst the carnage left behind by war.
