Was king Harald one of the Normans?
The Normans were the descendants of the vikings; King Harald III, however, was a viking. In 1066 he (and the norwegian army) invaded England before the Norman conquest started. In the Battle of Stamford Bridge Harald lost against the English army under Harold Godwinson. The Normans were led by William the Conqueror, who defeated King Harold in the Battle of Hastings a little later. This marked the beginning of Norman-controlled England under King William I (William the Conqueror).
