They are connected because Harold Godwinson was supported by Harald Hardrada. So I wouldn't actually say that they were related.
Harald Hardrada was born in Poland but moved to Spain for 1 year when he was 21 , but soon moved to Wales and then fighted to be king in 1066.
King Harold Godwinson, and a Norwegian force led by King Harald Hardrada (with the Norwegians supported by the English king's treacherous brother Tostig Godwinson), fought at Stamford Bridge, East Riding of Yorkshire, England, 25 September 1066. The Norwegians lost the battle.King Harald Hardrada and Tostig Godwinson were killed at the battle, while Harold Godwinson was to be killed later at the Battle of Hastings, 14 October 1066.
Because he didn't like the fact that his brother (Harold Godwineson) was king.
Note it is : Harald Hardrada (not) Harold HardraadaHarald Sigurdsson (1015 - September 25, 1066), was the king of Norway from 1047 until 1066. He was also claimed to be the King of Denmark until 1064 and was later given the epithet Hardrada.He is generally remembered for his invasion of England in 1066. He won his first battle, the Battle of Fulford, south of York, on 20 September. However he was then defeated and killed at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, outside the city of York, England, on 25 September 1066. Harald's death is often recorded as the end of the Viking era.At the Battle of Stamford Bridge, Harald Sigurdsson fought Harold Godwinson, King of England and it was this Harold who was defeated (and killed) at the Battle of Hastings by William the Conqueror on 14 October 1066.
Harald Hardrada died at the battle of Stamford Bridge a few weeks before the battle of Hastings.
Harald Hardrada wasn't in the battle of Hastings. He was in the battle of Gate Fulford and Stamford Bridge, he was defeated at Stamford Bridge by Harold Godwinsson; Harald Hardrada was hit in the neck with an arrow and then attacked by 3 English troops. Harold Godwinnson was defeated at the Battle of Hastings by possibly an arrow to the eye, or being hacked down by Norman Cavalry.
