Intriguing ( and totally unexpected answer) I'd watch it. I know very little about his life...or his work.

I think I'd choose Harold Godwinson just to set the record straight and shake away the mists of Norman propoganda In the lists of Kings of England from the medieaval era Harold's name is missing. After his death ( and with him the AngloSaxon state) He is only ever recorded as Earl, even in the Domesday book. His life was fascinating but it's very difficult to find anything written about him. ...King Arthur has whole bookstores dedicated to his mythical life ....But the last Anglo Saxon king has lain all but hidden from posterity's view. ...I think it'd make a great movie, like the Lion In Winter .....
