Yes. As many points of yes are to Harold as William. William was an invader.
As it proved after Williams win he displaced land owners took their values and murdered many.
Harold had already defended England. Falsification of excommunicating Harold by the Pope was a setup by Lafranc, William and the Pope. That drove some from his army.
Still Harold almost won with 1/3rd the forces and tired from previously defending England from invading Vikings(as was William). This is deceit, murder, and turncoating as we have studied in the biblical sense and most of early ages.
William is my direct ancestor as was King henry however I believe this was all treachery.HTF
