It will be fascinating to see what they find, but I really doubt Harold got away. In those days no claimant of a throne would allow a rival to live.

If memory serves, the survivors of the battle said, it appeared he’d been slain, then he emerged from a pile, pulled off his helmet, and shouted “I still live”. Then the arrow with his name on it killed him. Famous last words...
