William contended that Edward the Confessor, who had spent much of his life in exile in Normandy during the Danish occupation of England, had promised him the throne when he visited Edward in London in 1052.
Further, William claimed that Harold had pledged allegiance to him in 1064 when he rescued the shipwrecked Harold from the count of Ponthieu. This pledge of allegiance is tantamount to agreeing that William should become King on Edward's Death.
