AnswerThe battle was fought on Senlac Hill, in a village called Battle, eight miles north west of the coastal town of Hastings in the south east of England.It could have been called "the Battle of Senlac Hill", or even "the Battle for England," but all historians now use the name "Battle of Hastings."Perhaps it is called the battle of hastings as Williams troops arrived in Pevensey and made their way to Hasting where they awaited Harold and his armyWell, in those times battle was really called Hastings. So they called it the Battle of Hastings. However they soon changed Hastings and called it battle AFTER the battle had happened. But they did not see the point in changing the name, because it was already history.

Did Harold Godwinson rush into war with William the Conqueror?
Not really. After he was crowned king Harrald Hardrada (a Viking competitor for the throne) invaded England but Harold Godwinson's army fought them off. While Harold's army was in the north William invaded the south. Harold's army marched south and fought the Normans near Hastings. The English were tired and not as well equipped as the Normans who won the battle, killed Harold and took over England. Harold didn't want to fight but had no choice.
