Why did William of Normandy and Harold godwinson go to battle?
he didnt William and harald Hadraada invaded New answer: According to the interpretation of the Tapestry of Bayeux, Harald was was sent by Edward, King of England, to go to Normandy, presumably to tell William, Duke of Normandy, that England would be his i.e. William's. Harald shipwrecked during his crossing of the channel and William had to rescue him from a rival. William then asked Harald to swear an oath that William would become King at the death of Edward. Harald was then repatriated to his homeland, but reneged on his oath when Edward died. Harald claimed himself King infuriating William. William then took what he believed was rightfully his by invading England. Near Hastings in 1066, Williams Norma ns defeated Haralds Anglo-Saxons. Harald died after being hit with an arrow in his eye. Thus England fell under Norman control and the course of history was changed.

What were Williams Battle plans for the Battle of Hastings?
To conquer the land of England by taking out the vikings and Anglo-saxansIt would take too long to write who a blow by blow account of Williams tactics in the battle, so for an brief but inclusive account of how the battle was played out I suggest that you go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_HastingsImprove: Harald Hardrada and his army were on the top of the hill. They mad a big wall of soldiers. When William and his army tried to break through, they kept falling down the hill. then, William and his army, pretended to retreat and, as soon as they did, The wall of Hardrada's army "broke" and the soldiers came down to attack William's army. Then William killed every Viking and Invaded!Hope that was a better explanation than going to Wikipedia! ;)The "improve" section is essentially correct, but it has errors in the details. Harald Hardrada was a Viking leader who Saxon King Harold defeated at the battle of Stamford Bridge. William fought King Harold had the battle of Hastings, not Harald Hardrada, and Saxons, not Vikings.

The English lost. The next battle was the "The Battle of Stamford Bridge" on September 25th. It began when Harald Hardrada and the Vikings attacked,but their army was soon defeated by King Harold Godwinson'sEnglish army who had arrived from the south. King Harold then travelled south to a place called "Battle" where the famous "Battle of Hastings" took place on October 14th (Although it was set in Battle.. but you can't call it the "Battle of Battle").
