Harold was very unlucky in The Battle of Hastings because his army was poorly disciplined and they were very tired because they had just been fighting in the North.

You can tell that his army were badly disciplined because whenever William's army pretended to retreat, Harold's army followed, meaning it was easy for them to be killed.

Harold however, was a good leader just due to the failure of his army he was not able to use them as best as he could.
