Gytha Thorkelsdóttir

[Sleight of Hand]

Gytha Thorkelsdóttir was the mother of Harold Godwinson and his various siblings. She is incorrectly coded as having died in 1047, yet it is well known that she asked William for the bodies of her sons after they were slain at Hastings. Having been refused, she later (it is said) left England for Scandinavia. I can't find any source for when she died, but she was certainly alive into the late 1060s.

[KRONEN]

You're right on, man. Especially the coded date of death -- 1047 is absurd, most sources I've seen speculate ~1068.

However, this is probably just a conscious decision by Paradox to, well, err on the side of convenience.
