Im not sure if any thing like this has been done before but heres my go
anyway the POD is that Hardrada defeats Harold II at the battle of Stamford and quickly wins over the northern Barons. He waits in york colllecting troops and supplies until october 4th and marches south eventually coming to blows with Norman forces at the battle of winchester, the battle of Oxford and eventually killing William of Normandy at the Battle of Pevensey on the 23rd of October.
Following the death of William leadership of the norman forces fell apart with only a quarter managing to escape back to Normandy. So this is the world we are writing the timeline for.
31st October 1066: Harald Hardrada is Crowned king of England and Norway as Harald I unifing the two kingdoms, on the fields of Pevensey on which he stayed until Christmas.
2nd November 1066: Harald's sons Magnus and Olaf travel to england and begin buildng large estates with Magnus taking a large area of south Wales and Olaf taking a large portion of the southwest.
9th November 1066: Magnus of Pembroke as he wishes to be known as announces his marriage to a local girl of nobility starting the House of Pembroke-Hardrada
