Who was the king before William the Conqueror?
wrong it is in fact Harold godwinson. William duke of normandys arm killed Harold so he became king
Why was Harold's oath to William the Conqueror important?
In 1066, Harold was a key candidate to take the throne of England after the death of Edward the Confessor in January 1066. Harold was an important noble man in England who had both the support of the Witan and important earls Edwin and Morcar- the sister of whom he had also dinastically married.
Even though the accounts of Harold's oath were sketchy- it was not clear if he had been on a fishing trip (shown by the Bayeux tapestry) and blown ashore by a storm or whether he was going to release his imprisoned relatives (Hakon- Nephew and Wulfnoth- Brother) in 1064, but what we do know is that he met with William and perhaps offered him an oath over holy relics that gave William the claim to the throne (some accounts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle say that William had met Edward in 1051 and was promised the throne due to his ties and shown ability to rule his own duchy of Normandy- giving him more reason to claim it) and that he would be his liege in order to have parts of his town fortified and one of the prisoners released.
The importance of the oath is that, Harold was condemned by William to the Pope (as the oath had been made over Holy Relics) as a perjured usurper "whom William was bound to attack and kill" [Howarth] It gave William the right to claim the throne from Harold as he had forcefully taken it and had gone back on the oath that he had made to William in 1064.
Not only did the oath give William an advantageous reason to take the throne- but it also bought him valuable papal support as claiming Harold as the perjurer and a usurper the Pope (Alexander II) offered William the papal banner- turning the conquest of England into a holy war for the throne.

Why were the colonists taxed by King George?
The British colonies were established to further the interests of Britain and populated with emigrants from Britain, so they were always taxed from the beginning. By the time of the American Revolution, the King of Great Britain did not hold much real power and he was just a figure head. It was Parliament who decided what taxes and laws to impose upon the colonies. Parliament consists of MPs (members of parliament) that were elected (at this time, only by the rich). However, the colonists were not able to vote in these elections and this is why they felt they were being taxed without representation.
