Harold Godwinson had to quickly march a tired and weakened army south to face William Duke of Normandy. The victory at the Battle of Stamford Bridge had depleted his army and resulted in defeat at The Battle of Hastings.

Did Harold Godwinson rush into war with William the Conqueror?

Not really. After he was crowned king Harrald Hardrada (a Viking competitor for the throne) invaded England but Harold Godwinson's army fought them off. While Harold's army was in the north William invaded the south. Harold's army marched south and fought the Normans near Hastings. The English were tired and not as well equipped as the Normans who won the battle, killed Harold and took over England. Harold didn't want to fight but had no choice.


3 reasons why king Harold was in a weak position when the battle of hastings started?

Although he was on a hill and William's horses couldn't get through the marsh, Hastings took place down south of England, and Harold had just fought harald hadrada and the vikings in the north, and he had to march his men down south. Another reason is William tricked Harald by pretending to run away, Harold's army would chase them, and they turned around and slaughtered them. This happened twice with equal success!!!

What luccck was there at the Battle of Hastings?

the luck was that, when Harold was waiting for William in the south, the vikings invaded from the north, so Harold went to fight them and as he did, William came up from the south while they were fighting, so then , by the time he had got to the south he was to tired and wonded to fight the normans/William, and so William just was lucky that he came at that time, or he could have lost
