Answer 1

King Harold (the last Saxon) and King William I (known as the Conqueror) were both crowned there in 1066.   Every English, later British and now UK monarch has been crowned there except for Jane Grey, Edward V and Edward VIII, who were never crowned and Henry III who was crowned in Gloucester as England had been invaded by France and London was occupied by the French army.

Answer 9

The one who said Harold was indeed correct, followed by William Plantagenet (the Conqueror). BOTH of these coronations were in the year 1066. Since 1066 only three kings (Edward V, Edward VIII (abdicated king) and Henry III and just one queen were NOT crowned in the Abbey. The queen, Lady Jane Grey, was not a queen regnant like our queen.)
