William the Conqueror destroyed the villages around Hastings in 1066 as a strategic move to consolidate his power after his victory at The Battle of Hastings. By eliminating local resistance and resources, he aimed to instill fear among the Anglo-Saxon population, deter potential uprisings, and secure his control over the newly conquered territory. This tactic also helped to establish Norman dominance in England and facilitated the transition of governance under his rule.

How many troops did William Godwinson have at the Battle of Hastings?
Oh, dude, at the Battle of Hastings, William Godwinson had around 7,000 troops, but like, who's counting, right? I mean, it's not like they had a sign-in sheet at the battlefield. Just imagine a bunch of dudes in armor swinging swords and stuff. Good times, good times.
Which famous tapestry depicts William and the events around the battle of hastings?
That depends on which tapestry. I'm going to guess you're asking about the Bayeux Tapestry, which depicts the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
Why did William choose Hastings?
He didn't and Hastings played no part in the battle. The Saxon King Harold arranged for his army to gather at the "hoar (grey and old) apple tree", a familiar landmark that the men would have known, sited on a ridge which would give the English a defensive high ground position. This was at the place now called Battle, not at Hastings. This ridge at Battle was a very strong position with marshes and ditches in front and around it, commanding the main route from Hastings to London - the route that William had to take. Given sufficient troops, Harold could have held the position indefinitely and William would have lost.
