William of Normandy did not primarily rely on fyrd soldiers for his army during the Norman Conquest of England in 1066. The fyrd was a type of militia composed of local Anglo-Saxon men called to arms; however, William's forces were mainly composed of professional soldiers, including knights and mercenaries. His army was well-equipped and trained, contrasting with the less organized fyrd. Ultimately, the composition of William's forces played a significant role in his victory at the Battle of Hastings.

What was the difference between Harolds soldiers and Williams soldiers in the battle of hastings?
Harold's army was a fairly typical Anglo-Saxon army. It was a fyrd, which was a sort of militia army. It was almost entirely infantry, and was supported by Harold's housecarles, an elite heavy infantry force. Since the fyrd was defending, they deployed using the "shieldwall", which was a defensive stance that involved the soldiers standing close together so their large shields resembled a protective wall. Additionally, they set up on a hill, which made their defensive formation even more effective.William's army was a "modern" (for that time) army. It was about half infantry, and the other half was cavalry (knights) and missile troops (archers and crossbowmen). It was more tactically flexible than Harold's old-style fyrd, and when they were initially unable to bypass the fyrd's shieldwall, they were able to adapt and ultimately defeat it.
