How long did it take for Harold to march to the battle?
Harold left the vicinity of York on or about September 26 or 27, pressed to meet William's invading force some distance to the south, and he arrived in the vicinity of Hastings, to battle William, on or about October 13 or 14; so it seems the best answer is that it took Harold 17 days to march to the battle.
How long did it take Harold godwinson to march down to the south to meet William?
Well, if Harold and his army marched about 250 miles in total, and about 50 miles a day to meet William, it would have taken him about 5 days to get there. I think he marched somewhere between 30 miles and 50 miles a day, but im not certain. actually harolds car was faster than an enzo farrari so he got ther in 5 hours to 16 hours
How many days did it take King Harold and his men to march from Stamford to Senlac Hill?
It took Harold's soldiers 10 days to get from York to Hastings. (about 250 miles of very poor roads) From the 3rd to the 13th of October, 1066.
How far did Harold have to march his men to Stamford bridge?
I think I looked this up once: 263 miles if my memory serves.
Why was William's army better?
It is a mixture Williams men were probably better, however Harold's men had just marched 250 miles north to Stamford Bridge to fight Harald Hadrada, as in September he heard that the vikings had landed also the winds were directing the wrong way for William to cross over to the South Coast. When Harold got to Stamford Bridge the vikings were drunk so it was easy to kill all of them. But by the time Harold had marched his men up 250 miles (no stops) and down 250 miles (no stops) they were exhausted, but they arrived to find the winds had changed direction and William had landed. They fought for 9 and a half hours and then William came up with a good tactic, to get his men to fake run away, then Harold's men followed to kill them but Williams men turned round and killed them. Eventually Harold died and William won.

Where did haralds army come from for the battle at stamford bridge?
The Saxon Army under King Harold Godwinson had marched 180 miles in 4 days. Stamford Bridge is near York so 180 miles South of York is where they had started their forced march from.... they then turned around and went all the way to the South coast to fight William the Conqueror at Hastings...........
Where did William set up a castle and wait for king Harold?
Harold Godwinson had spent the summer waiting on the South Coast for Duke William of Normandy to attack! after a while he returned to London because there was no sign of William, but when he returned he was shocked to hear that Harald Hardrada had attacked Yorkshire with Harolds younger brother, Tostig Godwinson. so Harold marched his army 2000 miles to attack the Norman army (thats 40 miles a day) Amazingly his army made it there in 5 days and the Normans were NOT prepared for them! :) Hope this helps
How many days after the Stanford bridge battle did Harold go and fight William?

What news did Harold receive as the Battle of Stamford Bridge was coming to an end in 1066?

Where did Harold walk to for the Battle of Hastings?
From Stamford Bridge to Hastings is 281 miles....
What luck did William have in the Battle of Hastings?
These are the bits of luck William had: the wind changed meaning William could cross the channel Harold was up north fighting in the battle of stamford bridge when William landed so Harold had to march all his soldiers south so they ended up being really tired when the battle started Harold lost some of his men in the battle of stamford bridge and had to pick peasants up from the streets while marching to the south
