Harold Godwinson, a much better ruler in my opinion with more right to the throne than William.
Britain was then ruled by William the Conqueror who came from Normandy in France.

William the Conqueror
In 1066 William the Conqueror won the crown of Britain and the Norman French ruled for several hundred years.
The ruler of the Normans was Duke William II. He was later known as William the Conqueror after his defeat of Harold Godwinson in 1066.
King William is also known as William the Conqueror. He took control of the country in 1066 and ruled until 1087.
In the battle of Hastings's, William the conqueror won and took over England. He was from Normandy.
There were four Norman Kings that ruled England, starting with William 1st The Conqueror in 1066, the last being Stephen 1135 - 1154.
I take it you mean William the First, also known as The Conqueror. He was born in 1027 and ruled England from 1066 until his death in 1087.
This question comes down to opinions. Some people think he was but others argue that he brought safety to the countries he ruled because of his army.
Harold Godwinson, Harold Hardrada, William the Conqueror, and Edgar Aetheling, although he was immediately ruled out because he was a minor.
