Why did they go to batlle against each other in the battle of hastings?
It was all because of the succession issue of 1066: Harold Godwinsson succeeded Edward on account Edward offered the throne to Harold on his death bed. William duke of Normandy thought he was the rightful claimant to the throne, as, through probably bias Norman sources, Harold promised the throne to William. This is why when news of Harold's coronation by Archbishop Stigand arose, William planned to invade.

Why did William of Normandy and Harold godwinson go to battle?
he didnt William and harald Hadraada invaded New answer: According to the interpretation of the Tapestry of Bayeux, Harald was was sent by Edward, King of England, to go to Normandy, presumably to tell William, Duke of Normandy, that England would be his i.e. William's. Harald shipwrecked during his crossing of the channel and William had to rescue him from a rival. William then asked Harald to swear an oath that William would become King at the death of Edward. Harald was then repatriated to his homeland, but reneged on his oath when Edward died. Harald claimed himself King infuriating William. William then took what he believed was rightfully his by invading England. Near Hastings in 1066, Williams Norma ns defeated Haralds Anglo-Saxons. Harald died after being hit with an arrow in his eye. Thus England fell under Norman control and the course of history was changed.

How did the battle of hasting start?
The Battle started when Edward the Confessor died and had noone to pass the throne onto, immediatly everyone jumped to the chance to become king The three contenders were : Harold Godwinson - An Englishman Harald Hardrada- A Viking and William of Normandy- duke of Normandy Edward the Confessor had promised William the throne however everyone in England wanted Harold G but the throne was rightfully Haralds because of his ancestors. -----------------------------------------------------------EDIT!-----------------------------------------------------the first part of the previous answer is true. However, the Witan chose Harold Godwineson to be the king. The other two contenders were certainly not happy about this, so William and the Normans were determined to fight with King Harold for the throne. King Harold's army had just successfully fought in a battle in York, and had to walk 300miles to get to the place near Hastings where William wated to fight. As you can imagine, they must have been exhausted. However, the king's army had the advantage. They were stood upon a hill with a forest behind them, so they were protected from all sides. At first it seemed likely that they would win ... (you asked for the start, so I won't go on.) Hope I helped!

William and his army tricked Harold. they pretended to retreat and when Harold and his army followed they attacked.. they also charged between the gaps of the 'tortoise'. this is a tactic that they used.
