In the battle of Hastings how did the bad omen help William win?

The Bayeux Tapestry shows Halley's comet, Harold and his people seeing it with fear in their eyes. The omen may have helped William win, but I have never read that there actually was an effect on the battle, or even on the morale of Harold's army, so asserting it happened might be going a bit too far.


What king was defeated in the battle of hastings in 1066?

in the year of the Battle of Hastings 1066 Harald sigurdson (Otherwise known as Hardrada) of Norway was the first to land in England with an invasion force and was defeated at stamford, but the battle of hasting was fought between Harold godwineson of England and the invading army of William of Normandy


Which things were bad luck for England in the battle of Hastings?

Harold Godwinson lost his best solider during the battle of StamfordHarold's men had to go south to fight the Normans;which meant they were tiredThey haven't got advanced weapons


How did Harold's bad luck help William?

It helped because first he went to Harold's army to fight then he got some news that William came. Harold went to London got some people and then they walked to the south and they got tired. William had luck to fight against him and a tired army.


Were there any moments when Harold could of won the battle of hastings?

I think that Harold godwineson was a very bad leader he chose a good spot to fight and fought well even at the disadvantage he had (like marching 400km from one battle to other, and losing half of his men at previous battle as well. All of his men were tired, weak and had nothing to eat or drink for a while. William, his opponent, had definitely out powered him, although Harold had more men, they were mostly peasents and farmers!)
