Answer

A lot of people believe that Harold died by getting shot in the eye because the Bayeux tapestry shows a picture of this and people who were at the battle claimed it to be true.This is, however, a legend and apart from the Bayeux tapestry, there is virtually no proof that this legend id true. On the picture of Harold being killed on the Bayeux tapestry it features another man who some people think is Harold. It is probably more likely that king Harold was killed in the same way as his soldiers but there is no evidence supporting this. We also do not know who made the Bayeux tapestry as it may have been a French person who wanted William to sound great. It is really your choice what you think but there is more evidence that Harold was shot in the eye.
