Knights

King William I of England/Duke of Normandy(c. 1027 or 1028 - 9 September 1087) was married Matilda of Flanders (c. 1031 - 2 November 1083)

In the Battle of Stanford, (against Harald Hardrada) Harold won the battle. A messenger arrived to tell Harold that William had landed in the south. So the answer is that Harold was in the south.

The Feudal system which was brought into England as a way for conroling and organising society, land use and the order in which people were in society.

He was brought up badly and his parents were of bad influence.He had no army or ships so he was very disorganised.

What did the English rebels actually do

William of Normandy (aka William the Conqueror)

Lol, The 90's. I lived my teen years through the 90's.

Life was good.

I can answer a more specific question if you like.

Purr^^~

Need to know the name of the battle you want to know about. Since this is under Battle of Hastings, that was England or specify if another.

The Battle of Cowpens (January 17, 1781) was an overwhelming victory by American Revolutionary forces under Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, in the Southern campaign of the American Revolutionary War. It was a turning point in the reconquest of South Carolina from the British, and an American tactical masterpiece.

William the duke of Normandy lead his army to victory by arranging his army skillfully. he also was brave. and he also encouraged his men when he made the soldiers retreat back up the hill to surround the English and kill them!!!!!!!!!

the fryd were part time warriors who weren't that good at fighting<3

In conclusion, the main reason that William won is due to him preparing himself and his army with Calvary, good weapons and many trained soldiers. Luck was also a part of him winning because if the wind didn't change William might not have been able to cross for weeks so Harold could have become King of England. Although, William deserved to win as he had put the most preparation, effort and thought into the Battle compared to Harald and Harold.

The industrial era started in the US after it came across the Atlantic Ocean from England around the turn of the 19th century.

William of Normandy, Harold godwin and Harald- and i mean harald with an a- hadrada all wanted to be king in 1066

He was lucky because when he was waiting for the wind to change, it took about 2 weeks so he had plenty of time to prepare. Also, when the wind did change Harold was up in york so he had more time to prepare! When Harold eventually came from the battle with harald all his men were really tired AND William had fifteen thousand souldiers, whilst William had only five thousand tired ones.

William the Conqueror, from Normandy, France and his army he was known as William the Bastard (Guillaume le Bâtard) because of the illegitimacy of his birth. He lead an army of Normans, Bretons, Flemings, and Frenchmen from Paris to victory over the English forces of King Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror became the first King of England in the House of Normandy. Before William England was ruled by the Saxons. Harold Godwinson was the last Anglo-Saxon king in England.

Saxon army was 5,000-7,000 and the Normans 10,000+

I think that Harold godwineson was a very bad leader he chose a good spot to fight and fought well even at the disadvantage he had (like marching 400km from one battle to other, and losing half of his men at previous battle as well. All of his men were tired, weak and had nothing to eat or drink for a while. William, his opponent, had definitely out powered him, although Harold had more men, they were mostly peasents and farmers!)

Although he was on a hill and William's horses couldn't get through the marsh, Hastings took place down south of England, and Harold had just fought harald hadrada and the vikings in the north, and he had to march his men down south. Another reason is William tricked Harald by pretending to run away, Harold's army would chase them, and they turned around and slaughtered them. This happened twice with equal success!!!

William had won a decisive victory at Hastings, but he had yet to win the kingdom. Archbishop Stigand immediately put forward Edgar "The Atheling", Edward's great-nephew, forward as new king. However, Williams brutal march through Kent, Bershire and Winchester in October and November isolated London and the remaining figures of Harold's regime: Edwin, Morcar, Edgar and his sister Edith all surrender to William.

From 1067 -1071 a series of revolts across England posed a great threat to his fragile government. He put them down with great brutality; any pretence he had to being the legitimate heir of Edward "The Confessor" was ended during this period. To underpin his occupation he built hundreds of castles across the Kingdom, garrisoned by armed, mounted troops. Only after 1075, after a rebellion by his own earls, was the first phase of the conquest complete, and by this time England was under virtual military law.

On foot, unless you had some money and then by horse

It is not known exactly, but there seems to be a couple of reasons--first and foremost is that historians believe it is very possible that King Edward the Confessor, upon his dying bed, at the last moment, said that the best thing England could do was to choose Harold as his successor. This seems to have made an impact on the Witan and they chose him. It also may have been that the Witan recognized that Harold was the strongest military leader and wisest leader in the land and that even if King Edward did not suggest him, they would have made him king anyway. It is probably a combination of the two.

He had to prepare for the inevitable Norman invasion. He was one of 4 people who wanted and believed the throne was theirs: William Duke of Normandy, Harold Hardrada, Harold Godwinson and Edgar Aetheling. Although Edgar was only a boy at the time but in ruling of strict primogeniture should be King.

He was waiting south for the Norman invasion when the Vikings invaded near York
