What actually happened in the Battle of Hastings?

Edward the Confessor did not have any children to one day become future kings, so three people fought for the throne:William the ConquerorHarold HardraadaHarold GodwinesonBefore Edward died he promised William of Normandy that he would be king, however the English people wanted Harold Godwineson as their future king. Harold Hadraada was from Norway, and the throne was rightfully his because of his ancestors.Harold did not know what to do; protect England from the Vikings (Harold Hardraada) in the north, or from the Normans (William of Normandy) from the south. Harold Godwineson fought the vikings in the Battle of Stamford Bridge and was victorious.Meanwhile, the Normans marched into England from the south. Harold led his tired army to repell the attackers. Harold fought William in the Battle of Hastings, probably the most important battle in Medieval history. William was victorious and became king of England. It basically started beacause three people got angry with each other.
