Because all of his men were tired and he only had a few of his most powerful men whilst William's army had rested men and he had all of his best men. Plus he also had a bigger army than Harold as when he was going to meet Harold, he picked peasants and other people to be in his army and in return he would give them all a piece of land.
I had to do this when I was in school and we nearly filled a whole History book on sticking things in about the B.O.H. I then started to call my History book a 'Scrapbook'...

HorsesWilliam's army was better prepared, he showed good leadership and he had better tactics. It was bad timing for Harold and also Harold's 's army was weak.He showed good leader ship. He rode at the front of his army, whereas Harold was at the back of his army. When his men thought he had been killed or injured, he lifted up his helmet so his men could see his face. Before the battle, he told his army that God was on their side and that they were doing the right thing. They spent the whole night, before the battle, in prayer. He fought beside his men as if he was one of them, not king!it was a bad timing for Harold. Before the battle of Hastings, Harold Godwineson had had to go to the battle of Stamford Bridge, where he had fought Harald Hardraada and won. The battle of Stamford Bridge up in the north, so because there was no means of transport they had to march on foot, up to the north. Then, when William appeared in the south, they had had to march back down again. Also lots of his men were killed and most of his men were farmers, so they had gone home to harvest. If Harold had waited, more men would have come and he might have won.
