House of Godwin

[DukoOsshiiKhan]

Apparently changes were made to the Godwin dynasty, yet Harold II's two sons, Ulf and Harold, are still not included. His uncle is Svend II's father, yet Svend II is not marked as Harold's relative. Forgive me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure that your uncle's children are your 1st cousins. Not to mention that it is well documented Gytha, Ulf and Harold all fled to the court of King Svend II.

Also, Harold II's family tree does not go back to Egbert of Wessex, whom he was descended from:

No idea which version of the game you have, but Harold and Ulf are in the game and the father of Svend II is listed as the uncle of Harold II.
Of course since they were born in november 1066, after the battle of Hastings, you won't see them when you start at the earliest date.

The connection between Egbert of Wesses and the Godwinsons is, say most sources, made up later to give the dynasty and Harold's claim to the kingtitle some more credibility.

[Sleight of Hand]

Ulf and Harold weren't born until the Fall, so they are (IIRC) represented as being born in November, hence they are not in the 1066 scenario.

Some names and dates were tweaked in 1.08, and a possible missing Godwin brother, Ælfgar, was added. He starts as a courtier of the bishop of Rheims. Sweyn Godwinson's son Hacon (Haakon) was also added.

Ulf and Harold are marked as being born in 1067.Meaning they are born after the September 15, 1066 start.Since the timeline starts diverging as soon as you unpause it is quite right that Harold and Ulf might never be born.

Unless King Harold's wife Should be pregnant at start.(even then I'm not sure twins can be guaranteed)

In this game only members of your Dynasty are recognized as Kin for the most part.King Svend II is considered a member of Yvling Dynasty.

I'm not a expert on Saxon Geneaology.......that is my two cents.
