Harald Hardrada invaded England first, landing in Northumbria in September 1066. He was followed shortly after by William, Duke of Normandy, who invaded in October 1066. Hardrada's invasion led to the Battle of Stamford Bridge, where he was defeated by King Harold II before William's forces landed at Hastings. Thus, Hardrada's invasion occurred before William's.
