Prince Edgar the Ætheling's claim was that he was the closest blood relative to King Edward. In fact, apart from Edgar there were no other male members of the House of Wessex (the royal family) alive in 1066. Edgar was the great-nephew of Edward the Confessor. Harold II may have been descended in the male line from Æthelræd I, King of Wessex (865-871AD) but this has never been proved.

After the Death of Edward the confessor in January 1066, Harold of Wessex became king... this was to be a very short reign as he was then killed at the Battle of Hastings on the 14th October 1066. After the Battle Edgar Aethling became king for about 3 months until William the Conqueror was crowned on Christmas Day 1066
