Geography

Beaurainville is a small town situated some 6 miles (10 km) southeast of Montreuil-sur-Mer, on the D130 road and on the banks of the river Canche.

History

In 1064, two years before the Battle of Hastings, Harold Godwinson, then Earl of Wessex, was shipwrecked on the shores of Ponthieu and captured by Guy I, Count of Ponthieu (d.1100) who took him to his castle of Beaurain, situated 24.5 km (15.2 mi) up the River Canche from the English Channel coast, (now Le Touquet), as the Bayeux Tapestry relates: HIC APPREHENDIT WIDO HAROLDUM ET DUXIT EUM AD BELREM ET IBI EUM TENUIT ("Here Guy seized Harold and led him to Beaurain and held him there"). Duke William of Normandy demanded the release of the earl, and Count Guy delivered Harold Godwinson up after being paid a ransom for him.

gollark: The designers obviously did not want unprivileged users to be able to arbitrarily make themselves have permissions.

gollark: I doubt it's possible from within MacOS for obvious security reasons, but if you can boot into a Linux USB stick or something you can edit it from there.

gollark: There are even tons of copies on github, including one memorably added to the repository of DMCAs via a bug they won't patch.

gollark: And the Arch one and probably other distros', it's not going to vanish from anywhere else.
