Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: While en route to a confirmation ceremony, this ruler was captured by Guy I of Ponthieu. This man may have been crowned as ruler by the archbishop Stigand. This ruler obtained fiefdoms for his brothers Gyrth and Leofwine after the death of Leofric, whose heir Aelfgar rebelled against this ruler with Welsh aid. This ruler's brother was deposed as duke of Mercia by Morcar. This man's father was the earl of Wessex and Kent and, before his fall from favor, an important advisor to Edward the Confessor. This man was victorious against an alliance formed by his brother Tostig with Harald Hardrada; that victory came at Stamford Bridge, just two weeks before this ruler's fatal loss. For ten points, identify this ruler of England who was killed in 1066 by William the Conqueror's troops at Hastings.
