Best Answer

It was King Harold Godwinson, otherwise known as Harold II, and he was the last Anglo-Saxon King of England. He was killed by the invading army of William I, "the Conqueror", the Duke of Normandy, who claimed he had been promised the throne by Henry's predecessor, Edward the Confessor. Both men descended from Viking invaders who conquered the British Isles and Normandy in the 9th century.
