1066: Who Had The Best Claim?

After king Edward died, there was a battle between three men that desired to become king of England, Harold Godwinson, Duke William and Harald Hardrada.
As we all know only one could take the crown and in the end Duke William became king. In my opinion, Harold Godwinson should have won the battle and become king, he was a pure english man and king Edward himself asked him to be king. I believe that an english man should have reigned England, not some foreigner. Harold was a noble and the head of the English army, he deserved the crown. He fought bravely and smartly in the battle, like a true english soldier; but he was out-smarted by the normans and collapsed. I think he should have been king because he was a strong and clever man and those are some of the qualities a great king has.
