Earl Godwinson, also known as Harold Godwinson, married Edith of Wessex, who was the daughter of the powerful Earl Godwin of Wessex and the sister of Harold's brothers. Their marriage was likely a strategic alliance to strengthen Harold's position and influence in England. Edith was also a key figure during Harold's reign as king in 1066, and their union produced several children.
