How did William I become king?

In the Battle of Hastings William shot King Harold in the eye.He had a better army than King Harold and Harold Hardrada. William had battle men knights on horses for the attack.I also found out that he built ships that contained his forces across the sea. Also he was brave and encouraged his men at a time of difficulty and made them use the clever trick of making the English army run up and down the hill.


What was Williams of plan in 1066?

William of Normandy apparently planned to land in England and draw Harold into a battle, then devastate the countryside, like Sherman on his March to the Sea, in the area around London until they begged for mercy. He benefited from the fact that Harold Hardrada struck first, drawing the Saxon forces north and east to the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Though the Saxons won the battle, they then had to race south and west to Hastings to face William. After which, William laid waste to much of the English countryside. The rest is history. In fact, all of it is history.
