Harald Hardrada and William of Normandy faced unpopularity for different reasons. Harald, a Viking king, was seen as an outsider in England, and his aggressive invasion in 1066 was met with resistance from the Anglo-Saxon populace. William of Normandy, despite his victory at The Battle of Hastings, imposed heavy taxes and harsh rule on the English, leading to resentment among the local population. Both figures represented foreign domination, which contributed to their unpopularity among the people they sought to rule.
