These are the bits of luck William had:
the wind changed meaning William could cross the channel
Harold was up north fighting in the battle of stamford bridge when William landed so
Harold had to march all his soldiers south so they ended up being really tired when the battle started
Harold lost some of his men in the battle of stamford bridge and had to pick peasants up from the streets while marching to the south

∙ 12y agoWilliam won The Battle of Hastings in 1066by luck and skill.
First of all luck: the reason he was lucky because William had to only face Harold and he had more soldiers than him. William made a wall during war of shields and that's how William also protected himself. William had archers and cavalery to attack Harold's army and managed to trick Harold then started to attack and that is how William was lucky by killing Harold.
Second of all skill: William had skill, in other words he was intelligent because William tricked Harold's army by pretending to run away and then Harold's army chased William's. William then told his army to attack their enemies and that was how Harold was killed and that is how William had the skill and luck by winning the crown and becoming King of England.
AnswerBoth! Mainly the fact he had just come back from the battle of Stampford Bridge. He had lost some of his best trained men and his army were exhausted!Wiki User
∙ 12y agoyes 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.

∙ 13y agoYes , it did. For example when William tried to cross the sea between France and England, there was a storm which postponed their landing in England for a few days. In those days the Vikings had landed in York which helped the Normans as when the English came to fight the Normans their force was tired and weakened.
