duke William of Normandy to show his soldiers he was still alive.
Because that was the report that was given during the battle. During that time, the closeness of battle, it was hard to determine who was dead and who wasn't until the end of the battle.
William was well prepared and during the Battle of Hastings, when there were rumours that he had been killed, he showed his good leadership by taking off his helmet and shouting, "I LIVE!"
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.
This is one battle where a ship actually sunk in the naval action.
A battle axe is a heavy axe that can penatrate a knight's armor and it can chop off someone's head. It is so heavy that, if you miss, you won't have time to swing it again. It was first used by the vikings.

If an astronaut took off his helmet in space, his body would explode from the lack of pressure in space before other problems would become noticeable.
During the Battle of Hastings Williams men had horses and most of his front line where mounted knights. It is said that William had two or three horses killed out from under him during the battle. Since William needed a horse he would have commanded others off their horses to replace his.

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??!!
I take it you mean before the battle of Hastings?(Which took place in the village of Battle by the way, not the town of Hastings)Harold went 200 miles north to fight off a Viking invasion at Stamford Bridge, near York, believing that the "season" was over for the Normans to invade. That probably means the sea was getting too rough for the invaders to cross.When he got word that the Normans had invaded, he and his army had to march 200 miles back down to Sussex, by foot mostly. When they arrived to face the Normans, Harolds' army was exhausted and depleted, often given as the reason the battle was lost.
