Best Answer

The king at The Battle of Hastings was Harold II (Godwinson). He defeated King Harald (Hardrada) and about 4000 Norwegians at the Battle of Stamford Bridge on September 25, 1066, three weeks before the Battle of Hastings.

On October 14, 1066, at Hastings, there were anywhere from 4000 to 30,000 men on each side. Harold's forces fell to those of William of Normandy, who had landed at Pevensey on September 28. Harold was killed in the battle, and William became the king of England as William the Conqueror.
