They thought that EDWARD the confessor chose them
In 1066, there were several claimants to the English throne, the most notable being Harold Godwinson, who was the reigning king; William, Duke of Normandy, who claimed the throne based on a supposed promise from Edward the Confessor; and Harald Hardrada, the King of Norway, who also asserted his right to the throne. The situation culminated in the Battle of Hastings, where William defeated Harold Godwinson, solidifying his claim. Overall, while there were multiple claimants, the primary focus was on these three figures.

The only man not promised the throne by Edward the Confessor in 1066 was Harold Godwinson, who was reportedly named as Edward's successor shortly before the king's death. In contrast, other claimants, such as William the Conqueror and Harold Hardrada, had their own claims based on previous arrangements or familial ties. Harold's ascent to the throne was contested, leading to the pivotal events of the Norman Conquest.
After the death of Edward the Confessor in 1066, the two primary claimants to the British throne were Harold Godwinson and William, Duke of Normandy. Harold, a powerful noble and the appointed successor, was crowned king shortly after Edward's death. In contrast, William claimed that Edward had promised him the throne and sought to assert his claim through invasion, leading to the pivotal Battle of Hastings. Ultimately, William emerged victorious, becoming King William I of England.
