How did the battle of Stamfordbridge effect the Battle of Hastings?

Harold Godwinson and Harald Hardrada, fought in the Stamford bridge battle. Then Harold then had to walk all the way south of the country, until he got to the battle of hastings place. ( i don't no where it was fought, i think it was in hastings ) Harold had lost most of his well trained men and was really tired from walking all that way so he was tired for the battle of hastings. So supposedly, that's 2 of the reasons he lost.


What was the battlefield for the Battle of Hastings called?

There were two other battles in 1066 against the Vikings- the Battle of Fulford and The Battle of Stanford Bridge. This is one of the reasons we lost the Battle of Hastings- thousands of men were lost in these battles


What happend after William won the battle of hastings in 1066 to october to December?

He traveled south to battle Harold Hardradi, and he lost


Why did William choose Hastings?

He didn't and Hastings played no part in the battle. The Saxon King Harold arranged for his army to gather at the "hoar (grey and old) apple tree", a familiar landmark that the men would have known, sited on a ridge which would give the English a defensive high ground position. This was at the place now called Battle, not at Hastings. This ridge at Battle was a very strong position with marshes and ditches in front and around it, commanding the main route from Hastings to London - the route that William had to take. Given sufficient troops, Harold could have held the position indefinitely and William would have lost.
