The three men who sought to claim the English throne in 1066 were Harold Godwinson, William the Conqueror (Duke of Normandy), and Harald Hardrada (King of Norway). Harold Godwinson was an English nobleman, while William hailed from Normandy in what is now France. Harald Hardrada, on the other hand, was a Viking king from Norway. Their competing claims ultimately led to the pivotal events of that year, including The Battle of Hastings.
