PS, having said that, his mum was a Norman. His father was Ethelred the Unready.

comes from the old English "unraede", I think, which doesn't really mean unready, it means "badly advised"

In answer to your question Cryptichick it was Edward the Confessor although he died on 5th Jan 1066. He was not Norman, he was Anglo-Saxon.

I thought everyone knew it was the anglo-saxon , king Edward (the confessor)

Not necessarily Molly. I would imagine that 9 out of 10 people know who was crowned King on 25th December 1066, but not that many would know about Edward unless they have studied British history.

"I thought everyone knew..." seems a little harsh - some of us are mere mortals!

What about poor old Harold Godwinsen and Edgar the Atheling who both briefly held the crown that year befor old Guillaume got his grubby hands on it, technically on the 17th of Dec and reality of the 25th. Edgar was proclaimed king on Harry's demise,but never crowned.
