Harald Hardrada traveled a huge distance by sea primarily to claim the throne of England. After hearing about the death of King Edward the Confessor and the subsequent succession disputes, he sought to assert his own claim based on a previous agreement with Edward. Additionally, Harald aimed to expand his influence and power as a Viking leader, believing that conquering England would solidify his status in the region. His journey ultimately led to the famous Battle of Stamford Bridge in 1066.

Who and why was chosen king of England in 1066 which were the reasons of harald hardraada William of Normandy and Harold godwineson to get crowned as king of England?
In 1066 Harold the Saxon had control of England, and 2 men claimed the throne was rightfully theirs. Harold Hardrada, king of Viking Denmark and Norway, and William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy (an duchy in the North of France). William had a dangerous task of getting his large numbers of knights across he English Channel. The vikings had sturdy ships and landed easily. However the Vikings suffered a huge defeat to Harold's veteran Huskarls at stamford bridge due to them not being prepared for a strong resistance. William however was quite sucessful. He chased Harold and his men down all the way to Hastings where the Saxons were defeated. William was crowned on Christmas day. To this day the Queen of England retains the title of Duke of Normandy, which is rather confusing as she is, in fact, a woman.
