Harold's army was a fairly typical Anglo-Saxon army. It was a fyrd, which was a sort of militia army. It was almost entirely infantry, and was supported by Harold's housecarles, an elite heavy infantry force. Since the fyrd was defending, they deployed using the "shieldwall", which was a defensive stance that involved the soldiers standing close together so their large shields resembled a protective wall. Additionally, they set up on a hill, which made their defensive formation even more effective.
William's army was a "modern" (for that time) army. It was about half infantry, and the other half was cavalry (knights) and missile troops (archers and crossbowmen). It was more tactically flexible than Harold's old-style fyrd, and when they were initially unable to bypass the fyrd's shieldwall, they were able to adapt and ultimately defeat it.
Harold's warriors were mainly a heavy infantry army. They have no cavalry and a very little number of bowmen. They were very strong combatants and Harold's Houscarles were probably the best infantry of that time in Europe.
William's army was better structured. There were infantry, light and heavy cavalry and a lot of archers. According to its structure, William's army were able to develop several tactical schemes on the battlefields because their units weren't made up of feudal levies but of well trained professional warriors.
Last but not least, the Saxon Army was somewhat tired when the battle started, while their opponent could rest for many days after they landed and
Harold's army reached the battlefield.
Harold's army was a fairly typical Anglo saxon army while William's army was a mordern [for that time ]army.
the battle of hastings ended by one of williams soliders who shot harold in the eye with an arrow,and then harolds army ran away or is killed
hey
Yes, Harold's brothers Gyrth and Leofwin fought and were killed at the Battle of Hastings.
Harolds wifes asistents found him
boring
He started from the top of the hill and raced with his army . harolds army were unprepared.
his good choices were when he decided to march back down the south coast
because when he retreated his army harolds shield wall dispanded and his army demolished them
why the nomans won the battle of hastings was because harolds army got tired from fighting the vikings at stamford bridge so the normans killed the English troops and took over
His men were tired from the battle with Harald Hardrada.
his team were ready he got to invade the wind travaled in the same direction as he was going at the right time harolds team were un organized
Williams tactic was the trick that when he couldn't fight Harolds army up hill, even though he had a better army, he pretenddeed to retreat. A similar trick had been used by Harold to defeat Harald Haadrada so he should have guessed it was a trick but he didn't... His army fell for it and this led to thier defeat for when they cased after the Normans, th eNormans swiftly turned round and killed them all.
