A huge amount of people had claims to the throne but only 3 men had legitimate reasons to believe they were the true kings of England after Edward died.
Harold Godwineson - Because he was Edwards grandchild and he was the only family who had made a claim and also because his family was the most powerful in all of England. And before Edawrd died he touced Harold on the hand.
Harald Hadraada - because he knew England was ruled by vikings up until the point Edward became king and he though England needed a viking king again.
William (Duke) of Normandy (France) - His claim was the strongest of the the three him and Edward were friends, and when Harold Godwineson attack Edward for the crown Edward called upon his best friend William for help. Inturn the deal was if WIlliam helped and was sucessful when Edward died he would be the next king.
