It was bad because the English King has died; Hadrada was killed in battle.

Consequently, William of Normandy takes the throne. This was bad because, he wasn't English and he wasn't popular with England (Normandy is in France).

Getting hit in the eye would disable you or kill you. No one's sure whether he got killed instantly or was disabled and then finished off.
