The first claimant to the English throne to invade in 1066 was Harold Hardrada, the King of Norway. He landed in Northumbria in September of that year, asserting his claim based on a supposed agreement between earlier kings. His invasion culminated in the Battle of Stamford Bridge on September 25, where he was defeated by King Harold II of England. This battle marked a significant moment in the lead-up to the Norman Conquest.

Who had the red rose in the battle of bosworth?

Well, I don't know if this is the answer you are looking for, but Richard III was the Yorkist claimant to the throne and therefore the "White Rose". Henry Tudor was the last tangible Lancastrian claimant, seeing as his mother, Margaret Beaufort, was descended from John of Gaunt, a son of Edward III, also the father of Henry IV, the first Lancastrian. The Beaufort's descended from John of Gaunts third marriage to Katherine Swynford and were barred from the throne. However, on the extinction of the male line of the House of Lancaster with Henry VI's murder, Henry VII was the Lancastrian claimant and therefore the "Red Rose"
