Conclusion of Battle of Hastings?

In conclusion, the main reason that William won is due to him preparing himself and his army with Calvary, good weapons and many trained soldiers. Luck was also a part of him winning because if the wind didn't change William might not have been able to cross for weeks so Harold could have become King of England. Although, William deserved to win as he had put the most preparation, effort and thought into the Battle compared to Harald and Harold.
