Did Harold Godwinson rush into war with William the Conqueror?
Not really. After he was crowned king Harrald Hardrada (a Viking competitor for the throne) invaded England but Harold Godwinson's army fought them off. While Harold's army was in the north William invaded the south. Harold's army marched south and fought the Normans near Hastings. The English were tired and not as well equipped as the Normans who won the battle, killed Harold and took over England. Harold didn't want to fight but had no choice.
