The main reason the Normans invaded England was to claim the English throne. After the death of King Edward the Confessor in 1066, there was a succession crisis, and William, Duke of Normandy, believed he had a legitimate claim to the throne based on a promised succession and a distant familial connection. This led to his invasion and ultimately the Battle of Hastings, where he defeated King Harold II.
