No-one knows the exact answer, however, it is believed that an arrow was shot through his eye, or he could have been stabbed somewhere else in his body. People believe that he was probably stabbed in the eye because there is a scene on the tapestry of a man with an arrow through his left eye, with words that read "Harold Rex interfectus est" which means "Here King Harold dies", but no-one knows for sure whether it is him or not.


Harold Godwinson died after being struck in the eye with an arrow by William the Conquerer's Army, the Normans.

Because the actual date of his birth is unknown, except for the year, there is a slight discrepancy on what King Harold's age was when he died in 1066. He was born in 1022, so at the time of his passing he was either 43 or 44 years old.
