Project name: Ansgar the Staller.

"...the case of Ansgar the Staller, who was one of the richest men in England below the rank of Earl. Ansgar seem to have fought at Hastings (he may, indeed, have been Harold's standard-bearer)..." p278 Marc Morris: The Norman Conquest.*

*sources: Waltham Chronicle, ed. Watkins and Chibnall, 15, 35; Carmen, 40-3; Clarke, English Nobility, 154; Fleming, Kings and Lords, 171.
