When was Harold Godwinson crowned?

Answer 1

Harold Godwinson was crowned king of England on January 6th 1066 when Edward the Confessor the king of England had died. Edward the Confessor had fallen into a coma sometime in December and people were worried that he would never wake up(he had not stated his heir yet). Luckily, he briefly woke up to try to get the royals to vote for Harold Godwinson. (they were debating over who should be king next)

And... yeah.

Answer 2

- Because he was the only candidate for the throne in England at the time of Edward's Death (William was in Normandy, Harald Hardrada was in Scandinavia and Edgar was in Hungary)

-He received the deathbed designation from Edward and was acting as Edward's assistant for the time leading up to Edward's death

-he got himself crowned by Ealdred the archbishop of York, making it very hard for him to be removed.
