England did not fall in 1066 because it was weak. It fell because one of medieval Europe's strongest kingdoms was forced to confront three rival claimants, two invasions and a succession crisis at the same moment.

When Edward the Confessor died without a son, Harold Godwinson was crowned king. He was England's most experienced military leader and the man best placed to defend the realm. Across the Channel, William of Normandy insisted that Edward had promised him the crown and that Harold had sworn to support his claim. From Norway came Harald Hardrada, one of Europe's most feared warrior kings, accompanied by Harold's exiled brother Tostig.
