Harold Godwinson was never The King he fought William Duke of Normandy but failed and was killed. The Duke killed both of his challengers and won the throne.
Yes, he was from NORMANDY, which is in France.
He was known as William "the Bastard" (because he was illegitimate) the Duke of Normandy. His father was a tanner but he was adopted by the previous duke. The Normans were "northmen" from Norway who had conquered this part of northern France a century before. Over that time they had stopped speaking Norse and began speaking French.
