Morgan of Osprey is the son of a Saxon Lord who owed a life boon to William of Normandy. Asked by his ill and aging father to fulfill the debt to William, Morgan met the Duke of Normandy on the marshy southern shores of Saxon England and followed him into battle on October 14, 1066 on Senlac Hill near the small town of Hastings. Resigning himself to the fact that he was probably facing a losing battle, Morgan fought with honor and valor and was surprised when the Normans took the day. He then followed William on his continuing campaign, culminating in the surrender of London. Since he fulfilled his obligations to the new King, he was one of a small handful of Saxon Lords to retain his lands and title after the Norman invasion.
