Why did Harold tell William he could be next king of England?
Harold had shipwrecked on the coast of Normandy and fell into the hands of Duke William, a sly and tough Norman who believed he should be the successor to King Edward the Confessor when he died. When William realized that the one person who could challenge him for that throne was in his grasp, he devised a plan to trick Harold into agreeing that he, William, would be the next king. It involved a public oath given on a chest that, unbeknownst to Harold held the bones of a saint, which at the time, was considered to be the highest form of swearing an oath that could be done. So even though William tricked Harold into the oath, Harold was bound by the oath. Additionally, Harold believed that he, Harold, was the best chance England had for maintaining peace and harmony in England. He thought if he were king, he could unite all the fighting factions in Europe. Harold knew that he must state publicly that William would be the next king, or he and his men would all be killed. So, to save his men and himself, and therefore, in his mind, to save England, he told William what he wanted to hear.
Why was Harold's oath to William the Conqueror important?
In 1066, Harold was a key candidate to take the throne of England after the death of Edward the Confessor in January 1066. Harold was an important noble man in England who had both the support of the Witan and important earls Edwin and Morcar- the sister of whom he had also dinastically married. Even though the accounts of Harold's oath were sketchy- it was not clear if he had been on a fishing trip (shown by the Bayeux tapestry) and blown ashore by a storm or whether he was going to release his imprisoned relatives (Hakon- Nephew and Wulfnoth- Brother) in 1064, but what we do know is that he met with William and perhaps offered him an oath over holy relics that gave William the claim to the throne (some accounts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle say that William had met Edward in 1051 and was promised the throne due to his ties and shown ability to rule his own duchy of Normandy- giving him more reason to claim it) and that he would be his liege in order to have parts of his town fortified and one of the prisoners released. The importance of the oath is that, Harold was condemned by William to the Pope (as the oath had been made over Holy Relics) as a perjured usurper "whom William was bound to attack and kill" [Howarth] It gave William the right to claim the throne from Harold as he had forcefully taken it and had gone back on the oath that he had made to William in 1064. Not only did the oath give William an advantageous reason to take the throne- but it also bought him valuable papal support as claiming Harold as the perjurer and a usurper the Pope (Alexander II) offered William the papal banner- turning the conquest of England into a holy war for the throne.
Why did the battle of 1066 take place?
It took place because William of Normandy thought he was the rightful heir. Also Harold Godwinson swore an oath to let William be king however Harold thought that because he was forced to swear an oath that it didnt matter so he became king resulting in William invading
What evidence is there to say Harold Godwin did swear the oath?
The evidence is all Norman and therefore likely bias in order to justify the invasion. Firstly, the Bayeux Tapestry depicts that Harold swore an oath, the Bayeux Tapestry is essentially an embroidery made in the 1070's. However the Tapestry doesn't say what the oath is and moreover doesn't explain why Harold is in Normandy. Thus deeming the evidence unclear and unreliable. William of Poitiers, the chief Norman writer, wrote about the events of the oath also in 1070's, despite even being present. This again is likely to have been created to justify the Norman invasion.
