How many days did the Saxons take to get to the Battle of Hastings?

Answer 1

they all died at the end non of them lived === === It is estimated that around 7,500 soldiers fought for Harold II (the Anglo saxon side) at Hastings. Of those around 5,000 perished and the remainder fled.

Answer 2

The Saxons had an army of between 5-13,000 soldiers, composed mostly of infantry and cavalry. Heavily armored shield bearers formed a protective front line that proved difficult for the Normans to penetrate. The lack of archers in the Saxon forces hampered the Normans - their own lethal archers had no ammo to reuse once their quivers were empty.

Answer 3

Nobody knows exactly, but the best estimate I have read is: 'It is difficult to estimate the number of men and horses that had landed, but, if there were as many as could be placed on the battlefield, then William might have had seven thousand men, comprising perhaps three thousand calvary, a thousand archers, and the rest infantry.' Others suggest a higher number, such as 10,000 (the official figure claimed by the Normas of 50,000 is known to be wild exaggeration).

I have never read a conjecture of how many troops Haroldmight have had, but it is generally thought that he had fewer troops, his army having sustained about a third reduction due to casualties at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Similarly, Harold's report that after Stamford Bridge that he had only 10,000 men remaining is thought to be an overstatement. So best guesses? Probably between 4,000 and 8,000 men.

Answer 4

Quite a few, but they had been routed and probably unable to regather for further defence. Also, it is quite likely that William's cavalry would have annihilated any small groups in scouting missions, bringing the amount of Saxon troops who survived the entire conquest much lower

Answer 5

7000- 8000
