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.

Irish ethnicity is predominantly Gaelic, an ethnolinguistic Celtic group. However, the island was also influenced by the Romans and was occupied by Vikings, English, and a mix of Vikings, English, and French called Normans.

The Irish (Irish: Muintira hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are an ethnic group and nation native to the island of Ireland who share a common history and culture. Ireland has been human for about 33,000 years and has been continuously inhabited for over 10,000 years (see Prehistoric Ireland).

Irish people living in the Republic of Ireland have distinct ancestry unrelated to the British. A person residing in the Republic of Ireland is an Irish citizen. However, if you live in Northern Ireland (the British part of the island), you may say you are Irish, but you are also British.
