He didn't really have that much luck, but he did manage to kill Harald Hadraada and his brother Tostig.
William defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings
Harold didn't have that much good luck. Although he won a battle against Harold Hardrada which meant him and his army had some experience on what it was like in a battle so it would be easier for him to kill William of Normandy in the battle of Hastings's. Thank-you
The Battle of Hastings lasted only from around 9 am until dusk. William had more men, luck on his side, and the dispute between Harold Godwineson and his brother Tostig to rely on.
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.
Harold Godwineson won the battle of Stamford Bridge, and then William Duke of Normandy won the battle of Hastings due to his leadership, preparation and luck.
I didn't really. However, because Harold Godwineson had to fight Harald Hadraada up at Stamford Bridge, when William Duke of Normandy invaded luck was on his side. It was inevitable that he was going to win.
The Normans should have won the battle of Hastings because they had a better army and they were more prepared for war. Also, William the Conqurer had more reasons to become king then the other monarchs. In the end, it was they who won the battle.
to be honest he wasn't because he was up in the north fighting the vikings totally forgetting that William could invade any time in the south however this was just luck!
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
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.
Well, William would've had to do to lose the battle of hastings, such as: Not having good enough Tactics, Luck, and Resources. He was Sly, and had good Idea's, which helped alot. Hope this works for you...x--x--x love georgi walkerxx
In conclusion, the main reason that William won is due to him preparing himself and his army with Calvary, good weapons and many trained soldiers. Luck was also a part of him winning because if the wind didn't change William might not have been able to cross for weeks so Harold could have become King of England. Although, William deserved to win as he had put the most preparation, effort and thought into the Battle compared to Harald and Harold.
