Harold's reign was short and turbulent. He prepared for an invasion by William, but was sidetracked by an attack by Harald Hardrada, the King of Norway, who was allied with Harold's brother Tostig. After defeating the invaders at Stamford Bridge, Harold took his army south to meet William and, after a long and fierce battle, died at Hastings along with two of his brothers.
Important DatesCrowned: Jan. 6, 1066According to tradition, Harold was killed by an arrow in the eye, but it is unclear if the victim depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry is intended to be Harold, or whether indeed the tapestry's scene depicts that particular type of wound. Whether he did, indeed, die in this manner (a death associated in the Middle Ages with perjurers, or was killed by the sword, will never be known. Harold's first wife, Edith Swanneck, was called to identify the body (the face being destroyed), which she did by the tattoos pricked into his chest which read "Edith" and "England".
