The Battle of Hastings

William II (Rufus)

Henry I

Stephen

In 1904, Britain and France signed the Entente Cordiale, which served as a declaration of newfound friendship and the beginnings of an alliance.

Most of the Ango-Saxons tried to run away. Some didn't make it because they were killed. I hope this answer helps you! x === === The Anglo-Saxon soldiers who lost the battle may well have run away and gone home. The Anglo-Saxon people are vis-a-vis the English people and found out that they had a new king - William the Conquerer. The English/Anglo-Saxons found out the hard way because there was a lot of resistance to William becoming king and rebellions against him in various parts of the country, most notably by the Earls of Mercia and Northumbria (who were deposed by William). After the defeat of the Nortumbrian Revolt king William "harried" the north - basically he destroyed every house and farm and left the population desperate and starving. There were other revolts, one led by Hereward the Wake - a Mercian nobleman - from the swamps of the Cambridgeshire Fens. There was another revolt by Leofric the Wild in the borderlands with Wales. Both were unsuccessful. The English suffered greatly over the next 100 years as the Norman kings asserted their power and imposed alien laws on them. However, they survived, because the English nation are descended from the Anglo-Saxons and speak a version of the same language - English - which they spoke then.

People were supposed to remain loyal to their King because the King was supposed to have been appointed by God to be king. Being disloyal to the king was therefore an offense against God.

The great majority of English would have been illiterate living in a feudal society, which meant you did not react to something which had nothing to do with you.

The Domesday Book was a tax reference book for the use of the main landlord, the king.

Because he was related to king Edward by marriage, he was a good soldier, he was an important English Man and he was promised the throne by king Edward himself.

The walls of motte and bailey castles were simple wooden palisades. They could be burned, scaled, or broken through much more easily than the more substantial and taller walls of stone castles. Motte and bailey castles did not last very long, as their walls rotted rather quickly. Also, motte and bailey castles were really more military camps than anything else, so they nearly never had any comfortable living quarters.

There is a direct heir to the throne Prince Charles the Prince of Wales.

The Pope's blessing helped Duke William a lot, because by blessing the invasion the Pope was also giving it is authority, meaning that Christians tended to support the Duke. It also made it easier for him to recruit mercenaries, bolstered the morale of his troops and probably had a negative effect on King Harolds army.

archers are the men who fired arrows into the air

Doing a little research, I find that the least expensive castles, which were of wooden construction and very simple, cost 20 pounds and up, and the most expensive cost about 15,000 to 20,000 pounds. This was at a time when annual rent on a cottage was about 5 shillings and on a master craftsman's house was about 20 shillings or 1 pound. See the links below.

first, Harold used the shield wall, in which the English used their sheilds to crate a wall, which they held for a long time, while William firstly used his bowmen, which did not do very much damage, then men at arms (infantry) and then a full charge with his knights. after all of this failed, William used the feign retreat tactic, where he pretended to retreat, the English followed and broke their shield wall, then William came back and slaughtered them.

There weren't many. Besides being slow to move, battering rams were very effective. Battering rams were used to bash down gates, doors, and walls from ancient times to present day. The simplest form of a battering ram could be just a log carried by several men, who would charge at a door or wall in an attempt to break it down. More complex battering rams could be placed on wheels, with a protective roof that was usually fireproof. The ram itself would be suspended by rope or chain, swung backwards, and let go to slam into the target. They could also be capped, which would involve placing a metal or stone tip on the end of the ram. This tip could also be fashioned into a figurehead. Battering rams were rendered almost obsolete with the invention of the cannon and other gunpowder weapons, which were much more effective and dangerous than a log strapped to some chains.

People were exposed to counter attack. In one city, they built a really thick wall behind the main gate. The battering ram took down the gate, but could not take down the "temporary" wall built behind the gate. Instead of having the men die from war, the attacking army killed the men working the ram (for failure to succeed).

Because he wa richer and friendlyer. That is why he was king. Also his dad was king before and allowed him to be king. But his dad died. So it should have rightfully been handed down to him anyway!

The result of the Battle of Long Island was that the British drove Washington's troops out of Brooklyn.

It took place on a single day in October 1066, although not in Hastings. It was fought at a place outside of the town, now known as Battle.

Although, militarily, it was unremarkable, its political impact was massive. It set up a royal dynasty that allows our current Queen to trace her lineage back over 900 years, and redistributed the land ownership of this country. It taught us the defensive value of being an island nation, put the French language in the Royal courts for 300 years, and gave the English a national dislike and antipathy towards the French that has endured almost a millennium!

Yes, because William was now King he made things very tough on the English.

Harold Godwinson had spent the summer waiting on the South Coast for Duke William of Normandy to attack! after a while he returned to London because there was no sign of William, but when he returned he was shocked to hear that Harald Hardrada had attacked Yorkshire with Harolds younger brother, Tostig Godwinson. so Harold marched his army 2000 miles to attack the Norman army (thats 40 miles a day) Amazingly his army made it there in 5 days and the Normans were NOT prepared for them! :) Hope this helps

The Celts, A Proto-IndoGermanic People. The Chief religious structure in Northwestern Europe being that of Druidism (Drouidoch) for several thousand years. Druid being the Gaelic name of wise person. An entire societal structure of checks and balances, designed to create a harmonious people. The study of the Celtic Peoples is a fascinating subject, in and of itself, It is still felt in very profound ways to this day, including the Constitutional rule of law of the United States, insofar as its last vestiges are still in effect.

Following the Battle, William did not readily receive the submission of the English nobles he had anticipated. Further rebellions were started as England continued to fight against the victors. Despite his suppression of the rebellions and forced submission of the nobles, resistance continued sporadically for years.
