After the Battle of Hastings what happened to the Saxons?

Most of the Ango-Saxons tried to run away. Some didn't make it because they were killed. I hope this answer helps you! x === === The Anglo-Saxon soldiers who lost the battle may well have run away and gone home. The Anglo-Saxon people are vis-a-vis the English people and found out that they had a new king - William the Conquerer. The English/Anglo-Saxons found out the hard way because there was a lot of resistance to William becoming king and rebellions against him in various parts of the country, most notably by the Earls of Mercia and Northumbria (who were deposed by William). After the defeat of the Nortumbrian Revolt king William "harried" the north - basically he destroyed every house and farm and left the population desperate and starving. There were other revolts, one led by Hereward the Wake - a Mercian nobleman - from the swamps of the Cambridgeshire Fens. There was another revolt by Leofric the Wild in the borderlands with Wales. Both were unsuccessful. The English suffered greatly over the next 100 years as the Norman kings asserted their power and imposed alien laws on them. However, they survived, because the English nation are descended from the Anglo-Saxons and speak a version of the same language - English - which they spoke then.
