Edward the Confessor had promised the crown of England to two different men. When he had lived in exile in Normandy, he had promised the crown to the young William, Duke of Normandy. At the time of his death, he promised it Harold Godwinson, a local English hero. War erupted, ending in The Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the victory of William.
