Mason Steele · Answer 2

B. Harold Godwinson

Explanation:

Harold II was the last Anglo-Saxon king of England (ever wonder where we get the word England? it comes from angland.) In 1066 was the Battle of Hastings, a hugely important battle in European history because it began the Norman conquest of England (meaning, the Vikings were now conquering England!). Its important legacies were blending French and Anglo-Saxon languages to create English, and putting William the Conqueror on the throne.
