The Battle of Hastings

A thatcher was, and still is, a person who makes a roof for a building using plant material. In the UK thatch is usually made from wheat straw (stalks). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thatch

because he wasn't English so he wouldn't know much about the way of living and Harold Godwineson was an Englishman and was the most powerful man in Britain

Harold Godwinson earl of wessex, Duke William 2 of Normandy and Harold Haardrader king of some where:)

he had no more than 13 weapons and invaded the whole of the british troop

He was killed in battle; some accounts say he was shot with an arrow, but other accounts say he was killed by swordsmen.

Does anyone know

William Walace fought for Scotlands freedom and got followers to help him fight for freedom and made changes: - - Scotland was no longer under England's control - You no longer had to inform the lord of each village in Scotland that you were getting married - Women no longer had to spend their first night with the lord of he village they lived in

Harold had extremely tough soldiers who had just marched 250 miles in 4 days with full gear having just defeated the Vikings at the the battle of Stamford Bridge. They were the fastest marching troops in recorded history. They fought two major battles in a few days.

The battle all came down to which side was the most disciplined. The Saxon army was made up of mainly farmer/warriors who joined up at the request of the king (Harold). A large number of William's forces were full time cavalry troops with the bulk of the army made up from the ranks of the populus, which came from a warrior ancestry (the Vikings). At the battle the Saxons occupied the high ground at Hastings and formed a impenetrable defensive wall, providing the Saxon warriors did not leave the line. The Norman cavalry tried time and time again to break through but failed. It looked like the Saxons had won but a section in the line spotted William, who was in amongst his cavalry trying to raise morale. This section of the Saxon line went chasing after him (this is where discipline comes in) leaving a vulnerable opening in the Saxon line which the Normans exploited and broke down the Saxon army.

this is right

So far, four. But the current heir to the heir to the throne is named William, so in fifty years or so...

at stamford bridge Harold and Harald hardrada fought together then Harold won that fight

No. The battle of hastings was an invasion of England for money and power, not religion. Crusades were conquests to convert the world to Christianity. They invaded Jerusalem several times.

Because you let him.

This was a Revolutionary War Battle with little impact or importance. Two sidebars of the battle are worth mentioning: this is the battle that gave rise to the legend of Molly Pitcher and was the also where General George Washington court martialed General Charles Lee for disobeying orders

Pre-September it would have been peaceful. Depending on who you where, those who fought would have been waiting around near the south coast of England up until mid-September where they would fight in 3 battles; Stamford bridge, Gate Fulford and the Battle of Hastings. Those who prayed, would either be praying or working on the land. Those who worked ie. peasants would be working all-day everyday. Near the south when William Duke of Normandy invaded and in the North when Hardrada invaded you would have been killed.

edward the confessor was the king of England before telling Harold he would become the next king of England his deathbed

The Domesday Book (pronounced "Doomsday") was commissioned by William the Conqueror in December 1085.The first finished copy was completed in August 1086 and contained details of some 13,400 towns, villages and households in England. The purpose of Domesday was to create a record of land ownership and value so William could set his taxes in order to prepare for war with the Danes. The original book has survived and is kept at the Public Records Office at Kew, in London. The Doomsday Book (Alternately known as Domesday, or Book of Winchester) is the record of the 1086 CE great survey of England . It was done for William I of England, AKA 'William the Conqueror'.

Domesday comes from the Old English word "dom" an accounting or reckoning. So Domesday or Doomsday was a Day of Reckoning. What were they checking for? The survey was an attempt to find out what or how much each landholder had in land and livestock, and evaluate its worth. The Reckoning was how much money each household would owe in taxes. The Dutch have this same use of reckoning in their word for a restaurant bill "Rekenen" a summing up.

About the book itself, it was written in Latin spiced up with Old English words for which there was no Latin equivalent. Copies still exist and it is on-line.

The Norman invasion affected the way the English were governed. The common law continued in the court system. However, the Normans put forth a system of military feudalism.

There were many things that changed during the Renaissance. Such as the art, literature, and even religion which would have never be allowed in medieval times. The Renaissance was a whole change of mind.

The Tower of London is the answer.

Henry I was the King after William II - Henry was the ninth known child of William I and his spouse, Matilda of Flanders.

Yes, the Battle of Hastings goes down as a massive defeat for the English, but if you look at the detail, the English army had to march hundreds of miles north to face an overwhelming force of vikings at the Battle oF Stanford Bridge. The English won this battle but took heavy losses, once the English King Harold heard of the Normans down south, the English army had to march once again hundreds of miles to Hastings. William the conquerer didn't want to face the English on equal terms, so he waited until they were worn out. During the Battle of Hastings a undermanned, exhausted and malnourished English army (due to the hundreds of miles covered marching plus battles against the vikings) stood their ground and fought a well rested, well equipped Norman army, no wonder the English lost, the Normans were well fed and rested whereas the English hadn't eaten properly and where exhausted and possibly injured due to fighting th Vikings. The fact that William fought a malnourished, overworked and undersupplied army with a well supplied force and won giving him the name William the 'Conquerer' is stupid, he waited so his army didn't have to fight a better force.

It was Made by a group of French Nuns in 1077 after William's brother told them to. Nobody's sure how many people wrote it...

Before the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William of Normandy, also known as William the Conqueror, was consolidating his power in Normandy and preparing for his invasion of England. He sought to claim the English throne, believing he had a legitimate right to it through his distant kinship with Edward the Confessor. William gathered a strong army, including knights and mercenaries, and secured support from various nobles and allies. His preparations included building ships and gathering supplies for the crossing to England.
