As i wrote, there are many different number of days used for the march, as we dont know when it started, only when Harold reaches Tadcaster, it follows your example of mounted movem,ent rates, fails to support anything.
You have confused the Great fyrd, which includes the foot, with the select fyrd which is all mounted, you then get confused on when the select fyrd was called up, back in May and held to service till 8th Sept, and what a mounted force can move with a foot mounted one.
You then confuse Caesers movement with a Roman armies movement, and give a rate that no Roman army on foot achieved over a sustained 14 day period, marching longer ( twice as long as Caeser and faster each day than Caeser) than any Roman army ever forced marched without its supply train, and you have to have food to march with.
We have the mpd Romans were achieving in Armenia, the best they achieved was 40 miles in a day, when fleeing for their lives and abandoning all their wounded. https://www.ourcivilisation.com/smartboa...chap15.htm so sorry but your mpd is not going to work.
