William won because he had archers and calavary to shatter the saxon shield wall and one of Williams archers shot Harold in the eye and the rest of his men riot and fled the battle feild with only a few hundred

and ....

William was more properly ready and this was harolds second fight of the day. some of harolds best fighters had died in the battle of the stamford bridge

Reasons why William won:

-luck, the arrow which hit Harold, harvest time so some of the fyrd went home, storm which forced Harold into the hands of William, the fake retreats, arrival of hadraada, William survived the blow, wind blowing the opposite way accross the cannel,

-harolds weaknesses, untrained fyrd, lack of control, no calvery/archers, rused into battle, failed to defend coast, tactically unflexible,

-Williams strengths, brave, professional force, well equiped, tactically aware,

-Tostig and hadraada, the battle at stamford bridge led Harold to becoming too confident, harolds army was tired, Harold had to leave the south ungarded, Harold lost a 1/3 of his housecarls

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!

Who fighted in the Battle of Hastings?

the british and the normans and possibly the pirates of...oh no i mean the vikings of erm i tink sweden The "Viking" contingent fought in a separate battle at Stamford Bridge in the North of England a few weeks before Hastings. King Harold would have identified himself as Saxon rather than British, England had rarely been ruled exclusively as one kingdom, as Danish invasions had resulted in rival rulers from both the Saxon and Danish factions. William Duke of Normandy was a descendant of the Danish line with a link to the English line through the same great aunt who had first married King Ethlered and then King Canute. The Normans being Norsemen that had colonised Northern France.
