Which Saxon king of England was killed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066?
Correct Answer: Harold
King Harold (Harold II, also known as Harold Godwinson) was the Saxon king of England killed at the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. He was the last Anglo-Saxon king of England.
Harold was defeated by William, Duke of Normandy (later known as William the Conqueror), who claimed the English throne. According to tradition — as depicted in the Bayeux Tapestry — Harold was killed by an arrow to the eye. William's victory marked the beginning of Norman rule in England, fundamentally transforming English society, law and language.
