This is what William's Rep (if he had one) could of said :

William has the best claim to the throne

because Edward promised it to him. When Edward was a boy

in 1016, King Cnut invaded England and Edward ran away to

Normandy for safety. Edward stayed in Normandy until he became

King of England in 1042. It was important, at that time, for Edward

to protect his throne from attack and rebellion. Edward turned to

William for help. He sent Norman soldiers to live in England and protect

Edward. William's army is strong and could protect England no matter what the circumstances are. In return, Edward promised the English throne. Harold of

Wessex also said that he should become King of England when

Edward died.
