Why was Harold Godwinson killed?
AnswerA lot of people believe that Harold died by getting shot in the eye because the Bayeux tapestry shows a picture of this and people who were at the battle claimed it to be true.This is, however, a legend and apart from the Bayeux tapestry, there is virtually no proof that this legend id true. On the picture of Harold being killed on the Bayeux tapestry it features another man who some people think is Harold. It is probably more likely that king Harold was killed in the same way as his soldiers but there is no evidence supporting this. We also do not know who made the Bayeux tapestry as it may have been a French person who wanted William to sound great. It is really your choice what you think but there is more evidence that Harold was shot in the eye.

Why did vikings do what they did?
Norse is a term used to coin the predominant culture, language and mythology of Scandinavians in pre-Christian times. This period of Norse culture largely coincides with the Viking era, when Scandinavians excelled in ship building and both raided and traded in Europe by help of their innovative and superior longship technology. The name "Viking" has several interpretations, but most probably it´s connected to the Norse (and also modern Norwegian) word "Vik" which means "bay" or "fjord". When travelling by ship to Europe and elsewhere, men went into "Viking". So originally "Viking" is an act, not the name of a people - only men who travelled by ship did Viking.
Who was the viking that was killed by an arrow?
In the Bayeux tapestry, the "viking" is none other than Harold Godwinson, the king at that time.
How is the bayeux tapestry important to learning about the middle ages?
The Bayeaux Tapestry illustrates the Battle of Hastings in 1066 C.E., in which William the Conqueror, of Normandy, became King of England, overturning the Anglo-Saxon kings.Studying the tapestry will teach you a lot about how people dressed, lived, worked and fought in the 11th Century. The Bayeaux Tapestry at a minimum shows medieval arms, armor, modes of dress, hairstyles and transportation. For example, a single detail, showing the death of Harold II (Harold Godwinson), highlights chain-mail armor; casque helmets with nose guards; kite-shaped shields studded with arrows; spears; swords, and horses with saddles and bridles. Other details show how agriculture was practiced. There are castles and Viking-type ships with figureheads, and on and on.Click on the related link below to browse scenes from the Bayeaux Tapestry.
