The Normans played a trick on the English. They pretended to run a way. This caused the English to leave their strong position on the hill.

William was brave, determined and ambitious. He wanted to be the King of England as well as the Duke of Normandy.

The Normans had soldiers on horseback.

William was a very good commander of his troops.

The Normans brought with them a useful mixture of foot-soldiers, archers and cavalry. Each of these played a very important part in the final victory.

He had a fleet of around three thousand ships which was filled with mighty horses and courageous men.

Once arriving at Pevensey, he built a castle with a strong rampart. Then he hurried off to Hastings, where he erected another similar fortress.

William had very good tactics.

Since the English were in the north, the Norman's freely disembarked at Pevensey without any opposition.
