^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I was doing my history essay and i needed info like this but the battle of Hastings was in 1066 and between 1066 and 1864 is a 798 year difference and unless Harold was a ghost, then he whouldn't have been alive then.

Who ruled after Harold Godwinson?
he was buried near the English channel
Why did William of Normandy and Harold godwinson go to battle?
he didnt William and harald Hadraada invaded New answer: According to the interpretation of the Tapestry of Bayeux, Harald was was sent by Edward, King of England, to go to Normandy, presumably to tell William, Duke of Normandy, that England would be his i.e. William's. Harald shipwrecked during his crossing of the channel and William had to rescue him from a rival. William then asked Harald to swear an oath that William would become King at the death of Edward. Harald was then repatriated to his homeland, but reneged on his oath when Edward died. Harald claimed himself King infuriating William. William then took what he believed was rightfully his by invading England. Near Hastings in 1066, Williams Norma ns defeated Haralds Anglo-Saxons. Harald died after being hit with an arrow in his eye. Thus England fell under Norman control and the course of history was changed.
What evidence is there to say Harold Godwin did swear the oath?
The evidence is all Norman and therefore likely bias in order to justify the invasion. Firstly, the Bayeux Tapestry depicts that Harold swore an oath, the Bayeux Tapestry is essentially an embroidery made in the 1070's. However the Tapestry doesn't say what the oath is and moreover doesn't explain why Harold is in Normandy. Thus deeming the evidence unclear and unreliable. William of Poitiers, the chief Norman writer, wrote about the events of the oath also in 1070's, despite even being present. This again is likely to have been created to justify the Norman invasion.
