Harold Godwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, is believed to have fathered three children: two sons, Harold and Godwin, and a daughter named Gytha. His children were born to his wife, Edith, who was also known as Edith the Fair. The details about his family are somewhat scarce, as historical records from that time are limited.
