Harold Godwinson's army primarily faced two groups during The Battle of Hastings in 1066: the Norman forces led by William the Conqueror and the remaining loyalists in England, who were attempting to support Harold's claim to the throne. The Normans were well-equipped and included a mix of cavalry and archers, while Harold's forces were mainly composed of infantry, including housecarls and the fyrd (local militia). The battle ultimately resulted in a decisive victory for the Normans, leading to significant changes in English history.

Harold was very unlucky in The Battle of Hastings because his army was poorly disciplined and they were very tired because they had just been fighting in the North. You can tell that his army were badly disciplined because whenever William's army pretended to retreat, Harold's army followed, meaning it was easy for them to be killed.
