"Emma and Godwin were acting in unison. Henry of Huntingdon notes that the Oxford meeting acknowledged that Emma and the former king’s household should have care of Wessex, and Godwin would be their leader in military affairs. For at least several months after Cnut’s death, Godwin remained dutiful to his Anglo-Norman widow and the Anglo-Danish succession of her son." — THE HOUSE OF GODWIN: THE RISE AND FALL OF AN ANGLO-SAXON DYNASTY (Michael John Key)
