Harold called his untrained army the "fyrd." The fyrd was a medieval militia composed of free men who were summoned to serve in times of war. This force was often less experienced than professional soldiers, relying on local farmers and townspeople to defend their territory.

Harold was very unlucky in The Battle of Hastings because his army was poorly disciplined and they were very tired because they had just been fighting in the North.
