The Battle of Hastings

Conditions in the trenches during WW1 were horrendous. Better trenches would be about seven feet deep and 4-6 feet wide. Sometimes sand bags would line the sides of the trench otherwise a kind latticework wall of hazel branches was used (a bit like hurdle fences). Planking would be laid in the base. On the lip of the trench would be sand bags and barbed wire. Frequently, allied and enemy trenches could be as little fifty feet apart. Here and there dugouts were literally dug into the earth to provide shelter when the fighting wasn't too intense. Other than that there was little shelter. In summer the trench would be exposed to the hot sun and in winter to pouring rain and snow. The rain filled up the trench and water seeped in through the sides leaving the troops up to their knees in thick, stinking mud that made any movement difficult. There was no sanitation and rats were a problem. Diseases were rife such as dysentery and trench foot. There would be no relief for front line troops for weeks on end. Even a near miss from an artillery shell could collapse a trench or cause dugout to collapse burying alive those inside. The nearness of death, the fear of it and smell of it, the horrific sights of shattered bodies, the screams of friend cut in half and the constant shelling combined to send many men insane either at the time or later in life. Conditions in the trenches were literally hell on earth.

Life in the trenches was extremely hard considering the circumstances. This is because of the living conditions that soldiers were forced to live in.

I know the route that the 39th Inf. Regt. took from when it landed on UTAH Beach, June 10, 1944 to the vicinity of Wittscheidt on Oct. 10, 1944. I also know the battles & campaigns that the 39th was in during that time period. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com

Many reasons. Just to name a few: they had to have cover from the weather, many people were ill so they had to be quickly treated, the animals in the area were unfamiliar so they were wary of the wild animals.

Cnut won the throne of England in 1016.

After Oliver Cromwell died, the English people no longer had a ruler or leader. They extended an invitation to Charles II, son of Charles I, to return to England as King. They did have conditions, Charles II could not change the national religion from protestant to catholic.

The battle was fought between Normandy and England. The Norman ruler who engaged in the battle was William the Conqueror and the English king was King Harold II. King Harold II was killed and England lost this battle and Normandy took over rule in 1066, England begrudgingly accepted William as their king.

The battle of Hastings was between the armies of King Harold II and William, Duke of Normandy (William the Conqueror - later to be crowned King William I). The battle was brought about by William's invasion and it was William's forces who attacked Harold's.

Because in 1777, England and France were fighting for terrotories.

Harald Hardrada would have been a good king because he was French and he could speak different languages so people would like him, and he was very prepared for a war he was even a experienced warrior.Harold Godwinson had sworn on the saints bones that he will be king.

Happened on the 14th October 1066. (Started around 9am.)

It ended the same day at around dusk (6pm) when the English' defensive shield wall was broken through by one last push of the Normans. Harold Godswinson (of the English) died because of an arrow that landed in his eye. When the Normans won the battle, the remaining English troops deserted to the North.

It is one of the most famous battles in the Middle Ages.

This was William the Conqueror. His father was Robert the Magnificent (also known, though probably not in his hearing) as Robert the Devil. His mother was Arlette, a tanner's daughter from the town of Falaise. Actually I Asked Who is William Marriom Branham! and he was the Prophet of god and He told us of the coming rapture

York. North West England. He then fought Harold Godwinson at nearby Stamford Bridge.

William punished people so badly because he was so angry with all the rebellions happening against him. He killed many people and destroyed their crops so no one could make a living. Many people starved and no one was happy.
