The Battle of Hastings

With land. He just took it from the Saxons who ruled it and handed it to his men, complete with the peasants (serfs or villeins) who worked it. For example, a certain M. d'Isigny, who had roughly the status of a Sergeant in William's army, got a village in Nottinghamshire called Norton, which became Norton d'Isigny and in the course of time Norton Disney. The family later emigrated to America and became quite famous.

He didn't - because at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, Hadrada was killed, and he wouldn't have been at the Battle of Hastings. Maybe you're getting confused between him and Harold Godwinson who was at the battle, but was supposedly shot in the eye, resulting in the winner being William the Conquer.

I don't know to be honest.He probaly did die.I know he was the FIRST mayor of chicago.

his retreat was a cunning plan against Harold Godwinson an also told his army to shoot high arrows because Harold's army were on top of Senlac hill and he wasn't the position was still bad because it was easier for Harold's army to dodge Williams army

in 1066 William the Conqueror went to Normandy William and his Knights sailed to England and defeated the English king and that's how he spread feudalism.

=Harald Hardrada was a big bum head wich everyone loved to kick cos he was the worst guy ever to walk the planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11=

There was no bay. Godwinson was stationed north in Yorkshire and fought the Battle of Stamford bridge before learning of William's invasion. He marched his army south over the course of a week before engaging the Norman conqueror at Hastings.

They invaded because edward promised throne to him

How amy countries did the Normans conquer over out of all?

The battle of Stamford Bridge was between Harald Hardraada, a tough viking, and the new King Harold Godwinson. Before Harald Hardraada fought Harold Godwinson, he fought two English Earls: Edwin and Morcar, I believe, in York.

To the point, in the battle of Stamford Bridge the English fought in tight ranks while the vikings where split up. Harold Godwinnson used a formation called the ramming formation to break to the vikings. after that an archer shot Hardradas throat and most of the vikings fled. the rest swapped sides.

After the battle of Stamford Bridge, only about 200 soldiers/ships went back, despite the thousands he brought over. Harald Hardraada lost whilst Harold Godwinson claimed victory but later had to go and fight William of Normandy and his Norman army in the battle of Hastings

Both the Battle of Stamford Bridge and The Battle of Hastings were fought in England. The Battle of Hastings is said to be the most famous English battle ever.

He was Duke of Normandy, invaded England, killed Harold Godwinesson, and took charge of the thrown.

No, he was king of England.

He believed he, not Harold Godwinson, should be king. In 1066, His army of knights defeated Harold's foot soldiers. William was then crowned king of England and became known as William the Conquerer. -Journey Across Time Glencoe

William the Conqeuror was another heir to the throne (and so was Harold). William was from Normandy and he sailed to England to claim the throne. Harold was elected to be the next king by the nobles, but William insisted he was the next rightful king because he was a relative. At the battle of Hastings, it was the major turning point and William became king.

The Domesday Book helped keep track of people in England during the Middle Ages. It also helped the ruler set up tax system. Before the Domesday Book was put together in 1086, no one really knew how many people lived in England. Good luck(:

The battle of stamford bride which was Harold II Vs Harold hadrada some say the reason he didnt win the battle of hastings was becasue his army had to march 1000 miles up and down the country and his army were all tired and didnt have the strenght to fight although they did win the battle of stamford bridge

After defeating Harold Hadrada at the hard fought Battle of Stamford Bridge, Harold Goodwinson's forces had to make a forced march across the width of England to meet William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, just days later. His troops arrived at the battle exhausted.

The Domesday book was called Domesday because the book was invented in the time of the war and it was doom.

Yes, Dutch did invade England in 1688. In the second world war the netherlands had nothing to do with the war. They where neutral. Germany decided due to heavy resistance on the belgium and french border to invade the netherlands first. Also the Netherlands had no part in trying to invade England in the second world war. You got the germans and dutch mixed up.

The Anglo-Saxons migrated to the British Isles in the middle of the first millennium A.D. They ruled England until the Norman Conquest in 1066.

Harald Hardraaada should be king because, his relatives have all been king for the past 28 years, also because he is wealthy and powerful!!! Harald Hardraaada also wanted to be king because, he was as good as any other king in the 11th century, he was a power and rich landowner and popular with most of the richer people in England. A man said that Land, money, power and the ability to keep other people on your side make a good king because, they bring stability and peace to the population. ( to Harald)

One of the reasons that William won was because he made good preperatins. William had assembled a great army with as many as 8,400 people in it. It consisted of at the most, 2,200 cavalry, 4,500 infantry and 1,700 archers and crossbowmen. He skilfully arranged his army into rows-Archers, foot soldiers (infantry) and cavalry- for the attack. The men were stood in a geometric position and if it was seen above you would get a perfect square but with 2metres gap dividing each of the categories. Harolds men were exhausted from the long journey from Stanford bridge to Hastings and were not ready to fight William and his men. Also Harold had lost some of his men fighting Harold Haardrada. Harold did not want to share the booty (treasure) he got after he fought Haardrada, this led the men in his army to thnk that he wouldn't share out the treasure he got after defeating William. As a result some of the army left leaving Harold on his own so he collected untrained, unequipped peasants on his way from the North to the South of England. When Harold arrived at the site of Hatings he climbed up the Sencar Hill. They arranged themselves as a lump many of the foot soldiers had nothing to protect them and all they had for protection were large axes that were hard to carry.

Harold g killed Hardrada in the battle of Stanford brigde but William defeats Harold g

he was as rich as a fish

Yes, there were eight rebellions against William the Conqueror.

1067: Rebels attacked Dover Castle, but failed to capture it.

1068: King Harold's sons sailed from Ireland and attacked Bristol. They were defeated.

1068: Other rebels took control of Exeter but surrendered after eighteen-day siege. William built a castle in Exeter.

1069: King Harold's sons landed with 60 shiploads of men and attacked Exeter. Norman soldiers from Exeter Castle defeated them and forced them to return to Ireland.

1069: The Norman commanders in York and Durham were killed by rebels. The rebels made alliances with the Kings of Scotland and Denmark. William marched north, won back control of the area and built two castles in York.

However, a large Danish army joined the northern rebels in another attack on York. William forced the Danes to flee and punished the local people so harshly. This event was called, The Harrying of the North.

1070: Small rebellions in Cheshire and Staffordshire.

1070: King Swein of Denmark sailed to England with a large army. Swein landed and set up a camp in the Fenlands near Ely.
