In the year of 1066, there were three powerful leaders fighting for the crown of England. All three men had a strong claim to the throne, but Harold Godwinson stood out amongst them all. Since Kind Edward didn't have any children to take over the thrown, he chose his successor Harold Godwinson. The reason being is that Godwinson is from England and he is the Earl of Wessex, making him experienced in leadership. Also, Harold's sister was married to Kind Edward. No one was surprised King Edward made a decision on Harold Godwinson, everyone agreed with him including the nobles. Godwinson was a strong leader who promised that the nobles could remain powerful. These are the reasons why Harold Godwinson had the strongest claim to the throne of England.
