What evidence is there to say Harold Godwin did swear the oath?
The evidence is all Norman and therefore likely bias in order to justify the invasion. Firstly, the Bayeux Tapestry depicts that Harold swore an oath, the Bayeux Tapestry is essentially an embroidery made in the 1070's. However the Tapestry doesn't say what the oath is and moreover doesn't explain why Harold is in Normandy. Thus deeming the evidence unclear and unreliable. William of Poitiers, the chief Norman writer, wrote about the events of the oath also in 1070's, despite even being present. This again is likely to have been created to justify the Norman invasion.

If you are a Christian or a Jew, you may be asked to swear an oath on the Bible before giving evidence, saying that the evidence you give will be wholly truthful.

If you are not a Christian you do not need to use the Bible, but may ask to give an affirmation instead of a religious oath. Muslims may swear by the Koran in some jurisdictions.
