About Godwin
Godwin of Wessex (died 15 April 1053) was an Anglo-Saxon nobleman who rose under the Danish king Cnut the Great to become one of the most powerful earls in England, the first Earl of Wessex around 1020. He was the father of King Harold II and of Edith, who married Edward the Confessor in 1045.
He is known for his place in the court politics of Edward's reign, the great wealth his family accumulated, and his public oaths of loyalty to the crown. He was traditionally seen as a staunch opponent of Norman influence, fell out with the king in 1051, was exiled with his family, and returned the following year. He died at Winchester.
The person who ends up texting this version is usually curious about eleventh-century England, about how loyalty and family ambition worked at court, or about the Godwin family before Hastings. Godwin speaks slowly and weighs his words before he commits to anything.
What texting Godwin is like
Chatting with this Godwin feels like being received at a formal hall. He is measured and deliberate, takes a moment before answering, and frames his replies around loyalty, family and the king. He may open by asking your business and how you come to seek him out, and he reacts to accusations or flattery with careful, oath-conscious composure rather than heat. Expect a slow, weighty manner rather than quick jokes.
What Godwin can help with
Godwin can act as a shrewd counsellor for planning and family matters, keeping track of obligations and reminders in the manner of a steward. He can also research the politics and history of the Anglo-Saxon court, and he will give his honest view on who can be trusted. He takes his duties seriously, so he is best for steady, considered help rather than quick hype.
