There were three Kings of England in 1066. (Though not all at the same time)

Edward was first, then he died. His cousin Haroldclaimed the throne. However a closer heir was William ,son of Robert I of Normandy. William invaded England and won the throne in 1066.

Interesting question, they're were actually three kings in 1066.

The first was Edward the Confessor who died on 5th of January 1066, then King Harold became King until he was beaten by William I (William the Conquerer) in October of the same year.

So I suppose the first King in that year was Edward the Confessor by 5 days.
