War of English Succession

[Justiciar]

I was feeling rather bored earlier today, so I went for a looksie around the internet for a few things about the Norman Conquest.. And then I started reading a few things about Edgar Aetheling and his father, Edward the Exile. Edward died upon his arrival in England, having been named the heir of Edward the Conffessor. As far as I'm aware he lived a fairly healthy life in Hungary up to that point.

Do you suppose it's possible that Harold, William or even the Confessor himself might have been responsible for his death? The Exile did, afterall, have a better claim than anyone else. I know it's a wee bit theatrical, but wouldn't it make sense? Esspecially if you put yourself in Harold's hoes.. his father wormed his way up to a position of power pretty much for the express purpose of having his grandchildren/children on the throne. Harold himself tried to cling onto this and then some swine that shouldn't have even been alive turned up to take that possibility away. I know I'd order someone to put an arrow in his neck.

Anyone have any thoughts or proof against this theory?

(edit; Gah.. I suppose I should have chosen a different title.)
