They are connected because Harold Godwinson was supported by Harald Hardrada. So I wouldn't actually say that they were related.

Harald Hardraada - Viking Harold Godwinson - Englishman
He invaded England because he thought Harold Godwinson promised him the throne!!!
"Throne." 1) Harold II King of England. 2) Harald III of Norway, also called Harald Hardrada. Harold of England defeated Harald of Norway in September of 1066 only to be defeated by William of Normandy ("the Conqueror") at the Battle of Hastings on October 14th, 1066. 3) William, Duke of Normandy, later known as William the Conqueror. He was crowned king after defeating Harold at the Battle of Hastings. = =

Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex, defeated Harald Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in September 1066. Harald Hardrada had invaded the North East of England from Norway after having been convinced by Harold Godwinson's treacherous brother Tostig. Harald won a battle against loyal barons and took York but was forced to give battle to the King, where his forces were routed and he was killed by an arrow through the throat. The remnants of Harald Hardrada's thousands-strong force left in just 20 longships.
