The job of William, Duke of Normandy during the Battle of Hastings was to lead the men to victory by out maneuvering the enemy. This was accomplished by having men with bow and arrow on foot, knights on horses, and other men on foot with clubs.

When did William of Normandy win the Battle of Hastings?

Yes William showed amazing determination during the Battle of Hastings. He showed it through his leadership skills as was able to keep his troops fighting and not give up. He also kept fighting the Battle getting stronger and stronger as soon as Harold Godwinson was killed (With an arrow in the eye) William knew Harolds army would soon surrender!


Why did William choose Hastings?

He didn't and Hastings played no part in the battle. The Saxon King Harold arranged for his army to gather at the "hoar (grey and old) apple tree", a familiar landmark that the men would have known, sited on a ridge which would give the English a defensive high ground position. This was at the place now called Battle, not at Hastings. This ridge at Battle was a very strong position with marshes and ditches in front and around it, commanding the main route from Hastings to London - the route that William had to take. Given sufficient troops, Harold could have held the position indefinitely and William would have lost.


How many troops did William Godwinson have at the Battle of Hastings?

Oh, dude, at the Battle of Hastings, William Godwinson had around 7,000 troops, but like, who's counting, right? I mean, it's not like they had a sign-in sheet at the battlefield. Just imagine a bunch of dudes in armor swinging swords and stuff. Good times, good times.


Was William duke of Normandy brave?

Yes he was very brave always at the front of his army, he seemed to be everywhere at the same time! In the battle of Hastings his men were about to give up because they thought he was dead but he took off his helmet to show his men he was still alive. This is brave because Harold Godwinson would have had people trying to kill just William but William still done it to give his army hope and it got them to keep fighting.

Why does William the Conqueror think he should gain the throne upon Edward the confessor's death?

Before he invaded England William was the Duke of Normandy and a vassal of the King of France. It is far better to be a king of a rich country than a duke of part of someone else's kingdom. When he won the Battle of Hastings he was the master of his own country, his new country. He had to spend time putting down a few rebellions, but once that was over he could play the role of king and have people give him the money he wanted.
