The fight for the English throne, particularly during the late 11th and early 12th centuries, was marked by significant conflicts, most notably the Norman Conquest in 1066 led by William the Conqueror. This event followed the death of King Edward the Confessor, which created a power vacuum and led to rival claims from Harold Godwinson and William. The struggle continued with various dynastic disputes, such as the Anarchy (1135-1154) between King Stephen and Empress Matilda, which further exemplified the challenges of succession and the impact of feudal loyalties. These conflicts shaped the political landscape of England and established the foundations for future monarchy.
