King Harold Godwinson knew that William was going to invade England for the title of being a King, so he made a line a soldiers from Sandwich to Ilse of Wight. But instead of a attach south there was a surprise attack up north, it was by Danish side led by Harald Hardraada. Harold was in Stamford Bridge in September 25th, William was traveling to England by the 27th of September. On the 28th of September he was causing chaos in Hastings such as burning houses and stealing food. Once Harold defeated Harald Hardraada and heard about the invasion he hurried to Hastings. In the morning of the 14th of October. The war began when Normans fired the arrows. The English blocked but then the Normans started to flee because the thought that William was dead so William had to take his helmet off and say he was alive. So the normans came back and killed all the English that were running towards them. Then the normans tied to use their arrows again but the English defence was just too strong. So the normans pretended ton retreat twice and the English ran towards them. Then the normans let their calvary go killing many of the English. The remaining of the English standard formed a circle around king Harold. The normans arrowed Harold in the eye then cut him up to pieces.

William waited for five days after he won then he made his move. The remaining English earls gathered in London to see what to do. Instead of going straight to London. William want to York and back to London burning houses and taking food. The earls promised to obey him and crowned him King on Christmas Day. Just because he was king doesn't mean everyone obeyed him. It took him four years of rebellions to fend before he had control of England.
