Harold did have an advantage , he was based high up on a hill , meaning he could rain down arrows and William had to shoot uphill. It was never unlikely that Harold could have won , he was winning until William used the tactic of running away and when the English ran after them , turning round and attacking them when the where broken ranks

Why Harold Godwinson was better than Harold Hardragar and William of Normandy?

William, duke of Normandy was a better leader because he has more prepared and had better tactics than Harold Godwinson. He was able to adapt to the battle at Hastings, when the Brettons ran from his army he surrounded and killed the group of Saxons who followed them. If Harold had been able to adapt to the battle as well he might have defeated William. Idk ask the people that were there... oh wait............ THEY'RE DEAD!
