Harold, returned home, rightly argues that:
" 'A forced oath is no oath...' " (p. 135)
- and gets Bishop Wulfstan to absolve him of the oath. I agree that Odo was dishonest but are he and Wulfstan anything more than political tools of the rulers of Normandy and England respectively? In these circumstances, how could the Church claim to be an independent agent?
