William the Conqueror. I think.
Harald claimed that he had a right to the English throne. He was related to King Canute, the King of England from 1016-1032. Harald said this gave him every right to invade England.
You can not actually say who is the best out of the three contenders, William Duke of Normandy, Harold Godwinson and Harald Hardrada. William Duke of Normandy became the King of England, in 1066, after beating Harold Godwinson in the battle of Hastings. Harold Godwinson was promised the throne by Edward the Confessor on his deathbed, which was approved by a witan. Harald Hardrada was beaten by Harold Godwinson in Stamford bridge, but was also promised the throne by his father King Cnut. By Hammiixx

Harald Hardrada claimed the Norwegian throne based on his descent from King Harald Fairhair and his military successes. He also argued that he had been promised the throne by Magnus the Good, the previous king of Norway. Additionally, Hardrada believed that he had a stronger claim to the English throne than Harold Godwinson due to an alleged agreement with King Edward the Confessor.

He was a viking who wanted the throne because he thought that because a relative of his was promised the throne he should have it and if he didn't get the throne of England he would probably take over anyway.
