Harold II Godwinson was the last Anglo-Saxon king of England (5 January - 14 October 1066). The reverse type of PAX was a hopeful pledge to his subjects that he could defend England from the two other contenders: Harald Hardrada of Norway and William, the Duke of Normandy. Harold won a decisive victory over Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge (25 September 1066), but risked battle against Duke William too soon and fell at Hastings.
