The only Englishman to claim the throne in 1066 was Harold Godwinson, also known as Harold II. He was the last Anglo-Saxon king of England, crowned shortly after the death of King Edward the Confessor. Harold faced significant challenges to his rule, notably from William the Conqueror and Harald Hardrada, leading to the pivotal Battle of Hastings, where he was ultimately defeated. His reign lasted only a few months before he was killed in the battle on October 14, 1066.
