Армия Мерсии и Нортумбрии примерно равна армии Гарольда
The three great earldoms of the land were those of Wessex, Mercia and Northumbria. Harold himself, while overall monarch, was also Earl of Wessex, as his father Godwin had been. Mercia and Northumbria, constituting between them the whole of the midlands and north country, were united under two brothers, Earl Edwin of Mercia and Earl Morcar of Northumbria. The combined strength of their provinces appears to have been at least fully a match for that of Wessex and the lesser earldoms associated with it in the south. This had been demonstrated in 1050. In that year Earl Godwin, with the southern armies, had challenged King Edward the Confessor near Gloucester. Edward summoned the earls of Northumbria and Mercia to his aid. Confronted by their power Godwin at first temporised and then submitted. This distribution of military resource is important when the events of 1066 are considered. Nearly half the war-making potential of the Kingdom lay in the fyrd levies and housecarles under the command of Earls Edwin and Morcar, whose base was at York. The other half, commanded immediately by the King, was based on London. There was thus an army of the North and an army of the South, designed to meet the circumstances of the hour.
