The transcript details Emma's efforts to secure the English throne for her son, Arthur Kunut, amidst challenges from Harold. Despite her attempts, including encouraging her sons Alfred and Edward to invade, Harold becomes king. After Harold's death, Hartha Canute takes the throne but faces criticism for heavy taxation and desecrating Harold's remains. Eventually, Edward the Confessor ascends to the throne, marking a brief return to Anglo-Saxon rule. Emma's influence declines as Edward removes her properties, though they later reconcile.
