>patrician William I of England, rightfully appointed by Edward the Confessor
William and the Normans represented an inevitable tide of change sweeping across Europe and it is Anglo-Saxon Britain's fault that they couldn't adapt quickly enough. Harold was an appeasecuck politician, William was a decisive ruler.
Harald really overextended himself, I'm not sure what he was doing, maybe Tostig convinced him he would find a lot of supporters in England.
