What was battle of Hastings about?
Well after Edward the confessor died there were 3 people who thought that they should be king as he did not have any children to reign. Harold Godwinson, Harald Hardraada and William of Normandy (becomes William the Conqueror). Harold Godwinson crowned himself about 3 days after Edward the Confessor died. Then the 2 other men fought. First Harald Hardraada and Harold Godwinson (he won this battle) and it was called the Battle of Standford Bridge. Then Harold Godwinson and William of Normandy and William won. That battle was called the battle of Hastings as it was down south in Hastings. Then when William won he crowned himself on Christmas day! He then became William the Conqueror! Hope this helped!

Who was crowned king of England after the battle of stamford bridge?
The Battle of Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire between Harold II of England and Harold Hardrada of Norway did not lead immediately to any kings being crowned. But later the same year the victor of Stamford Bridge, Harold II, was killed at the battle of Hastings on the south coast. After Hastings, Duke William of Normandy was crowned King of England.
Who killed King Harold any why?
Harold hardrada was killed by Harold Godwinson in the battle of hastings
Did William of Normandy engage in combat personally at the Battle of Hastings?
There are differing stories about the Battle of Hastings. One story is that when the English line began to fail and breaks opened up in the wall of shields the English protected themselves with, William and some of his knights broke through and attacked and killed King Harold II. We cannot know whether this story is true, and indeed another story is that Harold died because he was hit by an arrow in his eye. I have not found any reference saying whether William was wounded. That being the case, I assume he was not.
What historical events start with the letter b?
Honestly there are too many! Just think, any historical starting with Battle. E.g Battle of Hastings etc.
Where was Harold killed in the battle of hasting?
Yes, Harold was killed at Hastings. Allegedly, he was killed when a stray arrow hit him in the eye. He may have been captured and executed on the spot, because William was after the English Crown, and would not have wanted any other claimant live. No, not strictly accurate. Hastings (on the south coast of England) was the nearest town. The battle itself was fought about 7 miles away inland - an abbey was then built there, and the village that was then created was called Battle. The ruins of the abbey - and the village of Battle is still there, and part of the battlefield. So, the Battle of Hastings was actually killed at Battle! Harold was supposedly slain at the top of the hill, near where the high altar of the abbey was placed. There is a commemorative stone there now.
