Probably something around 700,000. There's nothing in the way of solid contemporary data, but that's roughly what's suggested by later numbers and plausible growth assumptions. Harold should thus have enjoyed a big numerical advantage from among his maybe two million subjects, had his attention not been diverted by events to the north.

Most of England was still covered in forest in 1060, and the population was much less than it is now. There were maybe one and a half million people in England.

Before 1066, Anglo Saxons controlled the majority of England. After the Norman Invasion in 1066, the nation slowly became more continental and European.
