Was Harold Hardrada related to Edward the Confessor?
Answer There is some confusion of names in this question. At the start of the year 1066 the King of England was Edward I, known as Edward The Confessor because he was a deeply pious Christian. He was later made a Saint. Harold Godwinson was Edward's brother-in-law (Edward was married to Harold's sister) and was extremely powerful as The Earl of Wessex. When Edward died on 5th January 1066, Harold Godwinson was proclaimed King by the Witan - an early forerunner of the English Parliament. Duke William of Normandy was a distant cousin of King Edward and he claimed that Edward had named him to be his successor - a claim also made by Harold Godwinson. Both claims may be true - it is possible that Edward had made the same promise to both men. In October 1066, Duke William invaded England and at the Battle of Hastings defeated King Harold and became King William I of England. Because he won the throne by means of invasion and battle, he is also known as William the Conqueror.
