it is not William godwinson it is William duke of Normandy so i f say the question right then you may get an answer!!!
(i did not type the answer above) actually Harold Godwinson was the ruler of England in the time before The Battle of Hastings. at the battle of Hastings he was shot in the eye, William took over. end of story.
forget both answers above William had around 8,000 troops and so did Harold Harold had thegens fryd and foot soldiers and William had archers and knights :)
No he had about 5,000 troops
The armies in the battle of Hastings (1066)probably numbered around 5,000 to 7,000 on each side, although some traditional accounts give the numbers as much higher. though this is very unlikely
800-1200 Cavarly 500-800 Archers 2000-2500 Foot soliders
William had 2000 foot-soilders and 5000 knights
2000 to 3000
An exact number of troops is unknown. However evidence indicates that at the Battle of Hastings, William of Normandy had between 7,000 and 15,000 troops.
William had 2000 foot-soilders and 5000 knights
more than ten (10)
william had over 100 men
About 7 000
william had between 1000-1500 men in the battle of hastings
15000
He failed with relations with his brother Tostig and he was unable to defeat William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings.
The most important reason for the Battle of Hastings was to determine who would be ruler of England. In the battle, William I, or Wiliam the Conqueror defeated Harold Godwinson and became King of England.
yes and no because it was luck that made the wind change so the battle took place just after Harold godwinson had been fighting Harold hardraada. this meant that Harold godwinson's army was tired. no because he had been planning tactics for ages and Harold was unpropered.
Yes William showed amazing determination during the Battle of Hastings. He showed it through his leadership skills as was able to keep his troops fighting and not give up. He also kept fighting the Battle getting stronger and stronger as soon as Harold Godwinson was killed (With an arrow in the eye) William knew Harolds army would soon surrender!
Harold Godwinson was killed rather by the more popular suggestion of an arrow to his eye in the battle of Hastings, or getting struck down off his horse in the battle of Hastings. Harold Hardrada was killed by Harold's troops at Stamford bridge, believed to have been shot in the neck then attacked by a group of English troops. He was a very tough man so this was probably necessary.

William Norman was a vital part of the Battle of Hastings. He led the troops, planned out the strategies and ensured the victory through his careful planning.

The battle of Hastings was fought because William the Conquer believed that he had a right to the English throne. He invaded England in 1066 from Normandy, France. Harold Godwinson, the king of Anglo-Saxon England, had to rush his troops down to meet with Williams' after they defeated the Vikings in Northern England. They were very tired and at a disadvantage so William beat him and declared himself king.
It was hail and rain and there was a thunder storm which killed some of William's troops and made others run in terror
In the Battle of Hastings (October 1066), the Norman army of William the Conqueror (with the help of vassal troops from Brittany, Flanders, Italy and elsewhere) defeated the Saxon army of King Harold II.
The battle of stamford bride which was Harold II Vs Harold hadrada some say the reason he didnt win the battle of hastings was becasue his army had to march 1000 miles up and down the country and his army were all tired and didnt have the strenght to fight although they did win the battle of stamford bridge After defeating Harold Hadrada at the hard fought Battle of Stamford Bridge, Harold Goodwinson's forces had to make a forced march across the width of England to meet William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, just days later. His troops arrived at the battle exhausted.
The Norman's had prepared carefully because they brought with them a mixture of archers, foot soldiers and soldiers on horseback. William made sure his troops were arranged carefully and he used them skilfully in battle.
