Best Answer

During this time battles were commonly fought with forces comprised of allied soverign nations or regional "tribes" which can convolute the answer to your question. As King of what is now Great Britain Harold II commanded England's military, which us commonly reffered to as the Anglo/Saxon Army due to Harold II generally being considered the last Anglo/Saxon King. While period vernacular may have had common names for the army as a whole or factions of it, historians most often refer to it as the Anglo/Saxon Army when discussing battle history.
