Harold Godwinson made several critical mistakes during his reign that contributed to his defeat at The Battle of Hastings in 1066. Firstly, his decision to fight the Normans shortly after defending against the Norwegians at the Battle of Stamford Bridge left his forces exhausted and unprepared. Additionally, he underestimated William the Conqueror's tactical capabilities and failed to secure adequate reinforcements or a strong defensive position. Lastly, his choice to engage in an open-field battle rather than reinforcing strategic locations diminished his chances of victory.
