He thought that William Duke Of Normany would attack first so put most of his kinghts down south. Some of corse were at the top. When Harald Hadrada attack only half or less of the army were there so they had to march up to meet him. So he was planning the defence from William Of Normany.

The Normans travelled by boat to the coast of England and at first were unopposed because Harold Godwinson was off fighting in the North while the Normans had landed on the coast in the south.

Why did William 1 invade England?
He thought Harold Godwinsson usurped the throne from him. Through Norman sources, Harold had promised the throne to William so when Harold became King William wanted to invade. In hindsight, William thought his claim to the throne was more justified. Moreover, Harold had been corronated by Archbishop Stigand who had not seen approval from the pope.

Was Harold Godwinson unlucky when the wind did not change and the Normans could not cross the channel?
Harold was very unlucky when this happened as this meant that he had to send the fyrd (part time farmers, part time soldiers) home so he had hardly any soldiers to fight, then Hadrada invaded so Harold had to go up north to fight off the Vikings; then he was very unlucky because the wind changed direction so the Normans could invade. Harold then had to go down south, by which point his army very tired and so lost the battle of Hastings because the Normans were so well rested and they had more than double the number of soldiers that the English had. If the wind had not been against William, he would have arrived when Harold had his entire fighting force ready, and could have been dealt with before he consolidated his beachhead.

Why was England a good country to invade around the time of 1066. When edward the confessor was on the throne?
England Has never been a good country to invade at any time the channel crossing has made it impossible to do for a thousand years, The problem in 1066 was the fact that Harold had taken the English throne and William felt he had a better claim. Some historians believe that Harold may have even promised William that he would not oppose his kingship in an earlier political agreement that he decided to ignore thus infuriating William to invade. As for Hardrada well he was a viking and he loved a bit of rape and pillage but England wasnt good for him to invade because he lost
