Why Harold Godwinson was better than Harold Hardragar and William of Normandy?
William, duke of Normandy was a better leader because he has more prepared and had better tactics than Harold Godwinson. He was able to adapt to the battle at Hastings, when the Brettons ran from his army he surrounded and killed the group of Saxons who followed them. If Harold had been able to adapt to the battle as well he might have defeated William. Idk ask the people that were there... oh wait............ THEY'RE DEAD!
What did the battle of Hastings do?
I am not really too sure what you mean by this question. The Battle of Hastings was a battle between William The Conqueror and Harold Godwinson. The Battle took place at Stamford Bridge near Hastings and was one of the longest battles ever recorded in history. The result of the battle gave William the title of King of England and left Harold Godwinson (previous English King) dead.
When did William become Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings?
William claimed that Edward the Confessor had promised him the throne and that Harold Godwinson had promised to support him. This meant that Harold was considered an 'oath breaker' and therefore William had the support of the Pope. After landing in Pevensey, William met Harold's army at the Battle of Hastings. At the end of fierce fighting, Harold lay dead and William proclaimed himself king of England. He then marched to London where he was crowned King of England on Christmas Day 1066.

Where did Harold godwinson get buried?
Harold Godwinson died in the battle of Hastings in 1066. He was the son of the Earl of Wessex. Harold was killed by an arrow in his eye. It is also said that William, Duke of Normandy, sent four of his men to finish him off. The first man rode up to Harold and stabbed his sword into Harold's shield and through into his chest. The second cut his head off. The third disemboweled him with a javelin (pulled his insides out) and the final one thought 'Well he's probably dead now, so why not hack his legs off?', and that's what he did. Harold's body has not been fully recovered but some remains have been buried at Waltham Abbey, Waltham, Essex, England. Really hope this helps. Ducky ML

Did William the Conqueror get shot in the eye?
Answer 1:No sorry, he wasn't shot in the eye. Instead Harald Hadraada was shot in the eye by one of the Normans archers on horseback. "but what about Harold Godwinson?" He was already dead after previously fighting Harald HadraadaAnswer 2:Sorry you're a little mistaken here, your source for the arrow to the eye incident is the Bayeux tapestry, a Norman inspired production, depicting the battle of Hasting, intended for Bayeux in France. It was constructed in England and shows Harold Godwinson shot in the eye (but also trampled by a horse which has led to some ambiguity with regards to how he actually died). Hardraada was driven off before the battle of Hastings at which Godwinson was present; he did not die before the battle of Hastings.Hope that helps!
