According to common myth - he was killed by an arrow to the eye - sent by a Norman archer. This may be verified by the Bayeux tapestry which clearly shows a man, similar to how Harold looked in previous parts of the tapestry, with an arrow in his eye. Contemporary accounts of the battle do not mention an arrow, but suggest that after Harolds bodyguards (the housecarls) were finally picked off by the Norman archers, Harold was left unprotected. He was quickly set upon by Norman knights who promptly hacked him to death. To make sure he was dead, the body was supposedly chopped into many small pieces. Not a nice way to go!
