Edward the Confessor named his wife's brother, Harold, his successor to the throne. However, Harold could not hold on to the throne, and 10 months later he was defeated by William Duke of Normandy (Formally known as William the Bastard) from Normandy, France. Sorry about the inappropriate use of language. xxx All thanks. xxx !SORRY!
