Edward the Confessor died childless, leaving the big question of who would ascend to the throne after his death.

There were three major contenders for the throne:

1. Earl Harold - Edward's brother-in-law and friend

2. Duke William of Normandy - Edward's first cousin

3. Edgar Aetheling - grandson of Edward the Confessor and thus the direct inheritor of the crown
