Harald Hardrada thought that he should be king as he ruled before so he had much experiance. He also thought that he was strong and healthy. He also had a large army so he was prepared to fight any war that approached the country. I thought Harold Hardrada should be king as he was very powerful and would have great control over his country.

He was the most powerful earl in England so he had good military and back-up. Also, he helped Edward the Confesser. Edward promised him the throne on his death-bed.

Harald Hardrada thought he should be king cuz from 1016 - 1042, only Viking kings ruled England. Harald Hardrada was next in line to the throne but, a different person got it.

He believes he should be king because only vikings ruled England from 1016-1042 and he believed it should stay that way.
