Archaeologists believe they have discovered the lost residence of the last Anglo-Saxon King of England, who was killed in the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
By reinterpreting excavations, maps, records and new surveys, a team from Newcastle University and the University of Exeter have uncovered a hall belonging to Harold Godwinson.
Bosham, in West Sussex, is shown twice in the Bayeux Tapestry, which shows the king being killed by a Norman knight and the defeat of Harold Godwinson's army.
Dr Duncan Wright, senior lecturer in Medieval Archaeology at Newcastle University, who led the study, said: "The realisation that the 2006 excavations had found, in effect, an Anglo-Saxon en-suite confirmed to us that this house sits on the site of an elite residence pre-dating the Norman Conquest.
"Looking at this vital clue, alongside all our other evidence, it is beyond all reasonable doubt that we have here the location of Harold Godwinson’s private power centre, the one famously depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry."
