The Latin text states that Guy took Harold to ‘Belrem’, which is usually interpreted as Beaurain. However, Bertrand (Bertrand, S. 1966, “La Tapisserie De Bayeux et la Manière de Vivre au Onzième Siècle, p. 61) states that Guy at this time resided at Abbeville and the Chronique de Normandie claims that is where Guy took Harold.
