Harold Godwinson, the Saxon Earl of Wessex, Hereford and East Anglia was one (who seized the throne on the death of Edward the Confessor). The King of Norway and self claimed (though not recognised) King of Denmark, Harold Hardrada also claimed the English throne, declaring it for the Vikings. And finally William, Duke of Normandy, who would win the Battle of Hastings and become King William I (or William the Conqueror as he is commonly known.) Harold Hardrada landed in the North of England with a Viking army but was beaten by Harold Godwinson and his Saxon army at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, Hardrada died on the battlefield. After victory Harold Godwinson heard that William of Normandy had landed on the South coast and so he swiftly marched his army southwards, losing many who could not keep up along the way. Doing incredible speed he met the Norman army of William a few miles from Hastings and lined his exhausted men up for another battle. The Battle of Hastings was won by William and Harold Godwinson died on the field of battle, the last Saxon king. William, Duke of Normandy became King of England and the first Norman King.

Yes the Normans did win the Battle of Hastings because of Harold Godwinson's mistakes for example he lost most of his men because he fought in a battle against Hardrada just before he heard that the Normans had landed in Dover and he only had about a quarter of his men left.
