In this, the first real episode, we explore the origins of knighthood.

An addition to the virtue of Loyalty: The Bayeux Tapestry makes it clear that Harold Godwinson swore an oath on holy relics (shown in the video) that he would not take the English throne. His lack of loyalty and the breaking of this oath was also used a reason for William's invasion.
