1066 but he didnt win.
Harold Haadrada did not become King of England. (CORRECTION!) He was killed by the legitimate King of England, Harold Godwinson (Harold I), at Stamford Bridge. King Harold then had to march South to face William of Normandy, and was killed at Hastings. William then became King, and his successors have been on the throne ever since.
king Harold was not prepared for the battle but the Normandy were well prepared. the reason why king Harold was not prepared was that he had another battle before the battle of Hastings.After he won the battle of Stamford bridge that was between him and Harald hadrada, he got to know that the Normandy had arrived England and he had to march 226 miles(363 km) for another battle. king Harold had lost his best men in the war and part of Harold's men were left behind on the way for the battle of Hastings. he also didn't have enough weapons.while king Harold was fighting in the battle of Stamford bridge, the Normandy built a castle. they had enough weapons and had men on horseback so the Normandy were really prepared and that's the reason why the Normandy won the battle of Hastings and that's the reason why William, duke of Normandy became the king of England
He heard that Duke William of Normandy had landed in Pevensey to invade England. It took King Harold and his men 9 days to march back where the 2 armies met at Senlac Hill on October 14th, 1066.
William of Normandy apparently planned to land in England and draw Harold into a battle, then devastate the countryside, like Sherman on his March to the Sea, in the area around London until they begged for mercy. He benefited from the fact that Harold Hardrada struck first, drawing the Saxon forces north and east to the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Though the Saxons won the battle, they then had to race south and west to Hastings to face William. After which, William laid waste to much of the English countryside. The rest is history. In fact, all of it is history.
Harold left the vicinity of York on or about September 26 or 27, pressed to meet William's invading force some distance to the south, and he arrived in the vicinity of Hastings, to battle William, on or about October 13 or 14; so it seems the best answer is that it took Harold 17 days to march to the battle.

Harold Godwinson had to quickly march a tired and weakened army south to face William Duke of Normandy. The victory at the Battle of Stamford Bridge had depleted his army and resulted in defeat at the Battle of Hastings.
