The Monk once unsuccessfully tried to change the outcome, to hand victory to the Saxons. He was stopped by the First Doctor, Steven and Vicki. (DW: The Time Meddler)

On the field of battle, the Eighth Doctor and Mary Shelley met King Harold. (BFA: Mary's Story)

At the conclusion of the battle, according to one account, Harold's body was intentionally misidentified by Countess Gytha and Lady Edith Swan-Neck. In fact, Harold had survived the battle, but the false identification allowed him to die as Harold but be "reborn" as Hereward the Wake. (DWA: The Real Hereward)
