Notes |
- He was picked by Edward the Confessor to succeed him as king of England. But when Edward died suddenly, Duke Harold Godwinson, took control and crowned himself King of England. This infuriated William and he began to make plans to take the throne by force, leading to the invasion of England and the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
