No. Harald Hardrada (Harald III) was the Norwegian king who invaded England in 1066 and was killed fighting the English king Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Godwinson himself was killed only three weeks later at the Battle of Hastings, losing his throne to William of Normandy. Godwinson had been the king of England for just nine months.
Harald Hardrada was the king of Norway he was born in 1016. In 1064 Edward the confessor (king of England died. Harald believed he should be king of England as well because he said that the land had been promised to his ancestors and his father. Two other men also believed that they should be king, Harold Godwinson and William the conqueror he fought Godwinson in the battle of Stanford Bridge IN 1066 but died with an arrow to the eye. Godwinson and William then battled in the Battle of Hastings.

You can not actually say who is the best out of the three contenders, William Duke of Normandy, Harold Godwinson and Harald Hardrada. William Duke of Normandy became the King of England, in 1066, after beating Harold Godwinson in the battle of Hastings. Harold Godwinson was promised the throne by Edward the Confessor on his deathbed, which was approved by a witan. Harald Hardrada was beaten by Harold Godwinson in Stamford bridge, but was also promised the throne by his father King Cnut. By Hammiixx
They are connected because Harold Godwinson was supported by Harald Hardrada. So I wouldn't actually say that they were related.
Harald Godwinson was King of England in 1066 from January 5th until he was killed at the battle of Hastings on 14th October 1066 by the army of William Duke of Normandy.
