• King Edward held a conference to try to help Tostig - Harold told them to negotiate with the rebels instead of raising an army
• Harold married Morcar's sister
• Tostig was to blame for pushing Northumbrians too much
• Edward tried to get an army up north BUT Harold and the other nobles made excuses and didn't do what Edward said
• Edward had no choice but to accept rebels choices - they diplomatically chose Morcar
