Scene 2:
During the journey they visit Harold Boshams church and probably pray for a prosperous journey. Parts of Boshams church still stands to this day. Harold and his men eat at Harolds farm before they start the journey. They board the ship taking hunting falcons and dogs with them. The five ships are presumably showing the same ship on different stages of the journey. Harold himself is steering. They throw anchor at the mouth of the river Somme. For some reason they have gone off course and when they go ashore, they are captured by Wilhelms vassal the count Guy and his armed following.
