Pevensey Bay
Waited for William to come to him
William first landed just outside of hastings, in Pevensey. William and his army spent 18 days there waiting for Harold Godwinson before the Battle of Hastings.
William Duke of Normandy, also known as William the Conqueror, landed in England on September 28, 1066. This event marked the beginning of the Norman Conquest of England, ultimately leading to William's crowning as King of England.

King Harold was killed in the battle of Hastings, an arrow in his eye, painful!
William of Normandy landed his ships at Pevensey Bay on September 28, 1066. This landing marked the beginning of his invasion of England, which culminated in the historic Battle of Hastings. From Pevensey, William and his forces advanced inland to confront King Harold II's army.
He landed in Bulverhythe, just west of Hastings, where there was a large natural harbour. It makes no sense he landed at Normans Bay, Pevensey the name of which was a railway company marketing ploy in Victorian times.
