William won because he was well more equipped with cavalry, archers and foot soldiers also that many things went wrong for Harold and the Saxon's. Between October 2nd and October 6th Harold had to make the decision to leave most of his army behind as he had to make his way to London, Harold arrived at Hastings very late and most of his army was made up of Farmers and also it was said that William had seen something that told him that god was on his side - i have not found out what yet though - Hope this helps!
