Was Harold Godwinson unlucky when the wind did not change and the Normans could not cross the channel?
Harold was very unlucky when this happened as this meant that he had to send the fyrd (part time farmers, part time soldiers) home so he had hardly any soldiers to fight, then Hadrada invaded so Harold had to go up north to fight off the Vikings; then he was very unlucky because the wind changed direction so the Normans could invade. Harold then had to go down south, by which point his army very tired and so lost The Battle of Hastings because the Normans were so well rested and they had more than double the number of soldiers that the English had.
If the wind had not been against William, he would have arrived when Harold had his entire fighting force ready, and could have been dealt with before he consolidated his beachhead.
