Before his death in January 1066, Edward the Confessor reportedly named Harold Godwinson as his successor, although there were competing claims to the throne. He engaged in efforts to strengthen the church and the monarchy, including the construction of Westminster Abbey. Edward’s death led to a succession crisis, ultimately contributing to the Norman Conquest of England later that year.
