A timeline on the Battle of Hastings?

Answer 1

The Saxons decided that they would have the advantage by standing up at the top of a big hill. When the Normans were about to attack they didn't know what to do. They knew that if they could get them on even ground they could slaughter them all but with the Saxons advantage there was a very unlikely chance. So they questioned their commander what to do and fast! What they did was go up the hill and fight. The Normans didn't hesitate they charged up the hill and began to fight.

The Saxons started beating them, they were close to victory. then suddenly the Normans fled and ran down the hill. The Saxons thought to themselves lets finish them and ran after them. Although this was the Normans plan so they turned round and completely slaughtered everyone.
