There was no bay. Godwinson was stationed north in Yorkshire and fought the Battle of Stamford bridge before learning of William's invasion. He marched his army south over the course of a week before engaging the Norman conqueror at Hastings.
William first landed just outside of hastings, in Pevensey. William and his army spent 18 days there waiting for Harold Godwinson before the Battle of Hastings.
The English King was Harold Godwinson
William defeated King Harold at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 AD.
Before the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William of Normandy, also known as William the Conqueror, was consolidating his power in Normandy and preparing for his invasion of England. He sought to claim the English throne, believing he had a legitimate right to it through his distant kinship with Edward the Confessor. William gathered a strong army, including knights and mercenaries, and secured support from various nobles and allies. His preparations included building ships and gathering supplies for the crossing to England.

yes The death of Edward the Confessor led to the Battle of Hastings because William of Normandy thought he had a claim to the English Crown rather than Harold II. William pursues this claim by invasion.

Yes the Normans did win the Battle of Hastings because of Harold Godwinson's mistakes for example he lost most of his men because he fought in a battle against Hardrada just before he heard that the Normans had landed in Dover and he only had about a quarter of his men left. Does that answer the question??!!
William, Duke of Normandy, landed at Pevensey Bay in England before the Battle of Hastings in 1066. His forces disembarked there on September 28, 1066, and established a stronghold, which set the stage for the subsequent confrontation with King Harold II's army. The battle itself took place on October 14, 1066, leading to a decisive Norman victory and the eventual Norman conquest of England.
