There are no contemporary English eyewitness accounts of King Harold II's death at The Battle of Hastings in 1066. Most of the surviving accounts were written by Norman chroniclers, such as William of Poitiers and William of Malmesbury, who documented the events after the fact. These sources provide details about Harold's death, but they were not written by someone who personally witnessed the event.
