Why did edward the confessor hate Godwine?
Earl Godwine was disliked by Edward because he held a lot of power in England. Godwine, and his sons, had nearly as much land as the King, which made them the most powerful Earls in England. Edward had made the mistake of allowing foreign influences from Normandy into his court, which made him unpopular with Godwine and the other earls. Because of this, Edward tried to test Godwine's loyalty by ordering him to attack the men at Dover who had risen up against Eustace, Count of Boulogne, who was visiting the King. Godwine, however, refused to do this and fled to Flanders in 1051, only to return back to full power in 1052. It seems that from 1052 onwards , Godwine and his sons had made their peace with the King.
