The residence of a legendary king was recently discovered in the United Kingdom – all thanks to an 11th century toilet.
Newcastle University announced the discovery of Harold Godwinson’s – aka King Harold II – residence in Bosham, a village on the coast of West Sussex, England, according to a news release published Jan. 28. Harold, one of the subjects of the Bayeux Tapestry, was famously killed in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
His Bosham residence was depicted twice in the tapestry, but the remnants of the residence were unknown until now. Harold was the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, and he was succeeded by the Norman king William the Conqueror.
Describing the formerly lost site as a “power center,” the university says Bosham was where Harold dined before sailing to France.

It could sometimes be a struggle for airline passengers to find storage in an overhead bin, though one flight gave a carry-on an extra special seat.
In the “r/delta” Reddit forum, one woman shared that her husband witnessed a piece of luggage getting an upgrade, captioning the post, “When your bag gets a first class seat.”
The user claimed her husband was upgraded to first class, flying from John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, to Sacramento International Airport.
“Another FC [first class] passenger couldn’t fit her bag into the overhead compartment, so naturally it was given a FC seat,” read the post.

Flight passenger ignites debate after asking who controls in-flight entertainment on extra seat
Some planes may have more than the usual amount of legroom — giving passengers an entire seat space of room due to placement near the exit door.
One flight passenger recently posted an interesting dilemma on the “r/delta” Reddit forum. The person shared that he or she was sitting in a window seat with no seat in front of them — allowing a two-row distance of extra space.
“Seat 29F on a 757 has no seat in front of it. It’s just 28D and 28E because of the exit door,” the person wrote. “The seat is great for extra legroom on flights where I’m not getting upgraded.”
