there were 270000000 men who fought in the battle of hastings for William of Normandy
well he had 2,000 knights who would fight on horses. he also had 4,500 foot soldier's, including archers he got 787 ships to carry his soldiers horses, weapons and food from Normandy to England so he had formed a great ARMY OF 6,500 MEN. :)
It was superior to Harold's Army, as the Norman Army had many archers, knights and had superior Noblity, as there Territory in mid-medieval expanded from Britain to Sicily. But the Norman family usally controlled separate countries, as the family nobles went separate ways from Normandy.
Many of the powerful men, lords in the land and the Witenagemot (people who decide who is king if there is no successor) although William of Normandy was Edwards named heir.
He was strong ,powerful . A goo soldier , brave an many more he wasn't afraid to brake a nail Many of his people was afraid of him
William of Normandy, during his 1066 invasion of England, is believed to have assembled a fleet of around 700 to 1,000 ships. This fleet was crucial for transporting his army across the English Channel. The exact number is debated among historians, but the scale of the operation was significant for its time. The invasion ultimately led to his victory at the Battle of Hastings.
I think William of Normandy won over 25 battles
William had many problems. Even though he was king ,people didn't treated him as one. The English didn't like that their old king was killed and someone from Normandy had crowned himself king. Many English people didn't follow his rules,so William had to controll his people. Also many people started rebelling against William,so William had to find some ways to stop the riots.
There is no historic record that William the Conquerer killed anyone personally with his own hands. At the Battle of Hastings in 1066 William's invading army killed many defenders of England in the army of King Harold.
Harold Godwinson, the Saxon Earl of Wessex, Hereford and East Anglia was one (who seized the throne on the death of Edward the Confessor). The King of Norway and self claimed (though not recognised) King of Denmark, Harold Hardrada also claimed the English throne, declaring it for the Vikings. And finally William, Duke of Normandy, who would win the Battle of Hastings and become King William I (or William the Conqueror as he is commonly known.) Harold Hardrada landed in the North of England with a Viking army but was beaten by Harold Godwinson and his Saxon army at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, Hardrada died on the battlefield. After victory Harold Godwinson heard that William of Normandy had landed on the South coast and so he swiftly marched his army southwards, losing many who could not keep up along the way. Doing incredible speed he met the Norman army of William a few miles from Hastings and lined his exhausted men up for another battle. The Battle of Hastings was won by William and Harold Godwinson died on the field of battle, the last Saxon king. William, Duke of Normandy became King of England and the first Norman King.
A casualty was a casualty in the Army. They did not classify casualties ethnically.
Duke William the Second of Normandy defeated King Harold the Second of Wessex at the Battle of Hastings. The battle occurred in October 1066 and Harold was killed.
