Best Answer

Its bad because of problems with the evidence that he is the rightful claimant. The Bayeux Tapestry depicts that Harold offered the throne to William in the form of an oath. However, The Bayeux Tapestry doesn't explain why Harold was in Normandy, nor does it illustrate what the oath he swore was. Moreover, the Tapestry was made during 1070's and therefore not close to the event date.

The other source that portrays Williams Claim was through William of Poitiers even though he was not present.

Was richard 3rd evil?

Richard III was not evil. He had strong, legitimate claim to the throne and took it. Points to make: 1. If this relates to the play by Shakespeare: the playwright to poetic lisence and not everything he wrote is true 2. If this has to do with the Princes in the Tower, there is no evidence he had anything to do with their disappearance.

Why was getting hit by an arrow in the eye so bad in 1066?

It was bad because the English King has died; Hadrada was killed in battle.Consequently, William of Normandy takes the throne. This was bad because, he wasn't English and he wasn't popular with England (Normandy is in France).Getting hit in the eye would disable you or kill you. No one's sure whether he got killed instantly or was disabled and then finished off.
