Best Answer

well it all started when Edward the confessor (king of England) was dying, lying on his death bed. there were 3 candidates

  • Harold Godwineson, Earl of Wessex,
  • William, Duke of Normandy,
  • Harald Hardraada, king of Norway.
the only reason there were candidates was because Edward the confessor had no son. he practically didn't want one.
