Best Answer

It was a battle between William of Normandy and Harold of Wessex

it was important because the battle was about who would be King of England. Since William won and Harold died, England came under control of French-speaking Normans who retained lands, titles and responsibilities in France. As a result, England became involved more closely in Continental, and particularly French, politics and wars.
