Harold Godwinson (c. 1022 – 14 October 1066), often called Harold II, was the last crowned Anglo-Saxon king of England. Harold reigned from 6 January 1066 until his death at the Battle of Hastings, fighting invaders led by William the Conqueror during the Norman conquest of England. His death marked the end of Anglo-Saxon rule over England. (Wikipedia article). BNJ Reference: K. A.
