Best Answer

Archbishop Stigand, his brothers Gyrtha and Leofwine and almost all of the magnates in the South of England. Earls Edwin and Morcar officially supported Harold, though when Harald Hardrada invades the North they ally with him against Harold. Whether through necessity or through personal choice is not known.
