King Edward "the Confessor" was dying, but king until hi death Jan 5, 1066. Harold Godwinsson was the last British king elected to replace Edward in early January by the witan (the group of wise men in England who elected the kings of England until the Normans took over) until The Battle of Hastings when he was killed in October, then William of Normandy, "the conqueror", for the rest of 1066.

So, there were 3 Kings of England in 1066; Edward the Confessor, Harold Godwinsson, and William the Norman.
