Notes:
He succeeded his father to the throne. Harold was a very successful Anglo-Saxon, Wessex warlord and the 2nd most powerful man in England after King Edward (the Confessor). When King Edward died suddenly and childless (1066), Harold crowned himself king shortly after Edward's death. He faced invasions by his brother Tostig, Harald Hardrada (Danish King) and William, Duke of Normandy. Tostig and Hardrada were killed at the battle of Stamford bridge which left William (the Conqueror) as the only serious opponent. At the battle of Hastings (East Sussex) Harald was killed, supposedly, when an arrow pierced his eye. However, the earliest accounts of the battle say nothing about an arrow in the eye, but say he was hacked to pieces by 4 knights. This started the Norman dynasty which ruled England for over 500 years.
Harold married SWANNESHA, Edith about 1045 in Wessex, England. Edith was born about 1025 in Wessex, England; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
