Notes about Harold II Godwinsson of England Earl of East Anglia, King of England (1066)

Earldorman of East Anglia and Wessex, King of England

When King Edward the Confessor died in 1066, he made the fateful mistake of nominating two heirs to his throne; his distant kinsman William of Normandy and his unwitting brother-in-law Harold of Wessex. This blunder would ultimately be the Norman Conquest in 1066. The irony was that both men were not even the true heirs to the throne; instead the claim belonged to the young Edgar the Atheling who was bypassed due to his youth.
