Answer:
Edward the Confessor died on 5 January 1066. He had no children. Three men wanted to be king of England. Each man thought he had the best claim to the throne. The next king of England would have to win it in a war. Who do you think had the best claim to the throne?
Explanation:
Harold Godwinson, Earl of Wessex
Harold was a powerful and rich English nobleman. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, Edward named Godwinson as his successor on his deathbed. The next day, the royal council, known as the Witan, met and declared Godwinson king. An English king was proclaimed by the Witan - this gave Harold Godwinson the only claim to the throne by right.
William, Duke of Normandy
The Norman chroniclers reported that Edward had promised his distant relative, William, the throne in 1051. William was the only blood relative of Edward, but the English throne was not hereditary anyway. Claims that Edward promised the throne were probably made up by the rival sides after the event. The Bayeux Tapestry, which was made after the Conquest, shows Godwinson swearing an oath of support to William in a visit to Normandy in 1064. William was supported by the Pope.
Harald Hardrada, King of Norway, Viking warrior
Hardrada based his claim on the fact that his ancestor, King Cnut, had once ruled England (1016‒1035). He was helped by Godwinson's half-brother, Tostig.

The Middle Ages at first was a period in which the opposite occurred: half of Europe went from being united under the Roman Empire, to becoming a plethora of small states, often at war with each other.
As the Middle Ages progressed, international trade and globalization began to flourish again. One empire that contributed to this was the Byzantine Empire. Another state (not necessarily an empire) was the Venice Republic, which had trade routes all over the Mediterranean, but also as far as the Middle East, India, and China, thanks to the Silk Road.
In modern times, globalization has taken way more force than in the Middle Ages. All countries of the world engage in international trade (even very closed-off countries like Cuba or North Korea), and this boosts globalization even more in a positive feedback loop that is ever accelerating. Globalization determines the economic decisions of individuals, firms, and governments, and its effects are difficult to predict, but tend to be positive, at least according to most economists.
