Why were the Normans better than the Irish?
The Normans (not the Norse) were in no way better than the Irish. The Irish populated Scotland during the pre-Anglo/Saxon eras. The Normans attempted to invade Scotland and Ireland time and time again after they conquered England, and if Harold's army hadn't been divided into remote territories, the Normans would have been pushed back into the sea. Harold knew William was out to de-throne him. He also had internal problems that he was fighting. He was busy with his internal problems when William invaded. The Normans were never successful in making any inroads into Ireland. England didn't take Wales until the House of Tudor. England didn't take Scotland until well after William, and that happened when a relative took the Scottish throne.

Where did the vikings attack?
The Vikings first raided an English abbey, Lindisfarne in 793. In 865, the Great Heathen Army attacked East Anglia (England). After that invasion failed, they attacked England once again in 1066, but were defeated at the battle of Stamford Bridge. The vikings attack England again during the Reign of Canute the Great Again in 1066, the Normans invaded and conquered England. The Vikings could not defeat Paris but the King was so impressed that he gave me land and soon raped them.
Did Harold Godwinson rush into war with William the Conqueror?
Not really. After he was crowned king Harrald Hardrada (a Viking competitor for the throne) invaded England but Harold Godwinson's army fought them off. While Harold's army was in the north William invaded the south. Harold's army marched south and fought the Normans near Hastings. The English were tired and not as well equipped as the Normans who won the battle, killed Harold and took over England. Harold didn't want to fight but had no choice.
Why did the Normans win the Battle of Stamford Bridge?
The Normans had many advantages over the English. First of all, literally all of the Normans were on horseback whereas the English were on foot. Another reason why was that many of his best troops failed to keep up with Harold and were tired on their march to the south. Also, the Normans were well equipped with better Armour and weaponry. The main reason why the Normans were triumphant over the English was because the Normans pretended to retreat, causing the Saxons to break their shield wall and be easily killed.
What weapons did the normans us?
The Normans were descended from Vikings allowed to settle in northern France, who quickly absorbed the culture of their French hosts, including the idea of mounted knights in armour. This was a formidable weapon in itself if used correctly (and the Normans soon became better at it than the French). A knight's main weapon was his spear (not lance at this time), about 13 feet long, with a sword, mace or small axe as secondary armament.Serjanz were none-noble soldiers who provided the infantry, as well as some less well-equipped cavalry. Their weapons ranged from slings (not sligshots), bows and crossbows to spears (about 7 feet long) and a smaller number of other pole-arms: the glaive, fauchard and voulge.All of these weapons were brought to England by the Normans and were used effectively through the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries, when other weapons (particularly pole-arms) were developed. Massed archery gradually became more effective than a close-packed charge of mounted knights and the bow became the weapon that decided the outcome of a battle.
