Best Answer

In The Battle of Hastings William shot King Harold in the eye.He had a better army than King Harold and Harold Hardrada. William had battle men knights on horses for the attack.I also found out that he built ships that contained his forces across the sea. Also he was brave and encouraged his men at a time of difficulty and made them use the clever trick of making the English army run up and down the hill.

the answer is that he won and became king by battling harold godwinson in the battle of hastings. another feature was that Harold had just been in the battle of stanford bridge and was weary when he got the call that william had landed in hastings down on the southern coast. ha also became king by threatening people by his power to make him king. to show this, once when a village insulted his mother, he skinned thirty of te villagers alive to scare them.
