Answer:
"A. William the Conqueror of Normandy and Harold, Earl of Wessex, fought over who would succeed King Edward. - C. William and his fleet had to cross the English Channel to engage Harold's forces at Hastings."
Explanation:
From the decade of 1050 Guillermo was pretending to the throne of England, then in the hands of its cousin Eduardo the Confessor, who did not have descendants. However, he was not the only one who coveted the English crown, for he had a powerful rival, the English count Haroldo Godwinson, who was appointed as his successor by King Edward himself on his deathbed in January 1066. Guillermo argued that the king of England had promised him in the past that the throne would be his and that Harold himself had sworn to support him. Therefore, the Norman Duke launched the military intervention and prepared a large fleet and a powerful army that landed in the south of England in September 1066 and defeated the forces of Harold at the Battle of Hastingsel October 14. William was crowned King of England in London on Christmas Day 1066. After making the necessary arrangements he returned to Normandy in 1067, but in the following years there were numerous English military uprisings against the Norman invaders, who were not completely stifled until 1075.
