Harold Godwinson needed to be king because he was a very negotiating man and he believed that he could negotiate with all his people if he became king.

Harold Godwinson believed he should be king because he was the only englishman out of the 4 others, which were: Prince Edgar, Harold Godwinson, Duke William and Harald Hardrada. He also was the King's (Edward the Confessor) Army Genral. He was a very important English noble, t'was married to Edward's sister. On Edwards death bed he chose Harold to be the next king; but he was the only person there so if that is true or not ... NOBODY KNOWS But he did rebel against Edward in 1051 Prince Edgar: He was the King's nephew so therefore the nearest blood relative. But he was only 14 and lived in Hungary.
