The Saxons left their formation and charged at the Normans, which left them exposed to the enemy.
It was the English King, Harold Godwinson, who was killed at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Harald Hadrada was the Viking leader who was killed at the Battle of Stamford Bridge days earlier.The Saxons made the mistake of breaking their shield wall when they thought that the Normans were retreating. The mounted Normans turned round and slaughtered the Saxon warriors caught out in the open. Up until the shield wall broke, the battle could have gone either way.
Harold Godwineson, (note that his name is spelt with an 'e.' Many people make this mistake arrived just outside Hastings in a place which is, today, called 'Battle.' This is where the Battle Of Hastings took place. He arrived on October 14th, 1066. Check out friv!

1066, the battle of hastings
We should stay out of Hastings; and whatever we do, we mustn't go to Senlac Hill.

im not completely sure but i think it was edward the confessor
Yes, it is. It is the only taperstry made that shows the story of the Battle of Hastings. The Normans paid the Saxons, who were very well known for their taperstry, to create it so show of their great victory. As it was made by the Saxons historians do not know if it was changed slightly so it didn't make them look too weak. It it around 50cm high and 70m long. Hope this helps!

Harold was a foot soldier so he couldn't control his soldiers.Please note all English soldiers were on foot,horses were used to get to the battle but not used in the actual.His men ran after the enemy when they faked retreat and broke the shield wall-which was until then protecting them very very well

Edward the Confessor (king of England 1066) dies without an heir to the English throne. He had promised the crown to both the Saxon, Harold Goodwinson, and to William of Normandy, later known as the Conqueror. Norse King Harold Hardrada also saw an opportunity to make a bid for the crown.
