The Battle of Hastings

Penelope keeps from finishing her tapestry by weaving during the day and secretly unraveling her work at night. This clever ruse allows her to delay remarrying while waiting for the return of her husband, Odysseus. She tells the suitors that she will choose a husband once she completes the tapestry, thus buying time and maintaining hope for Odysseus's return. Her strategy showcases her intelligence and loyalty amidst challenging circumstances.

kino was very cuirious when he was a child and always wanted to explor things

The biggest reason was that Harold and his men had just finished fighting two battles, one against the strongest man in Europe at the time, King Hardrada. His men were exhausted from the battle and the long march to meet William. On top of their exhaustion, many men were armed only with their farm implements. In addition, Harold was so intent upon stopping William from doing any more killing on the English coastline, that he left to meet him without waiting for all his army to join him. If he had waited, he might have been more rested and had a larger army, but he couldn't stand to think that the longer he waited the more William killed English men, women and children.

Absolutely nothing excepted their culture which is a bit different.

To start, under Alfred "the Great", the Anglo-Saxons manage to hold 1 of the 4 earldoms: Wessex. So at this point (9th Century/860's) the Vikings held the majority of England. Alfred fought on and the peace of Wedmore (878) it was agreed the Danes would settle in the east of England; This is known as Danelaw. These areas included East Anglia, East Midlands, Lincolnshire and east Yorkshire. Then the Danish where virtually non-existent in England after Edward "The Elder" pushed the Danish as far back as the Humber, modern day Hull. However, in 1013, an army led by King Svien of denmark invaded the North of England and settled.From 1016 - 1035 in Canute's reign, the Danes secured the whole of England.

To have a battle won past the Mason-Dixon Line would've been a blow to Union morale, Gettysburg had shoes and the Confederate soldiers needed those, and Gettysburg was an important place for trade at the time. A battle didn't need to happen, but it did.

It is now parts of Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado - back then it was the "Mexico territory."

he was one of the three people in contention for the English throne. The others were William the conqueror and Harold Godwinson. Hardrada was the king of Norway

Example: Ilamosi Abosa nelo

Tostig turned against his brother and fought against him.

If the Hastings to Pevensey is in East Sussex in the UK the driving distance is 11.8 mi - about 24 mins.

Secondary: It is probably very bias since the only eye witnesses were the soldiers.

Before getting into what happened after we need to mention an event that happened just as Harald Hardrada landed in England because it is important to what happened later.

King Harold 2nd of England had established his army on the Isle of Wight in the English channel since William of Normandy, who claimed the English throne, was getting ready to invade England.

( Here after Harold 2nd of England will be referred to as Harold 2 or H2. Harald Hadrada, King of Norway will be Harald H or HH) William postponed his invasion for 7 months. With provisions running low Harold 2 disbanded his army and returned to London on September 8, 1066.

September 8, 1066 is also the day Harald H, also a claimant to the throne, landed in England. HH had stopped along the way at the Orkneys, Shetlands and Scotland to gather allies and troops, he landed near the River Tees in north-east England with at last 15,000 men. Tostig, H2's brother but an ally of HH, had been raiding along the English channel and in south-east England. H2 had raised a small force in response to raids but they spent most of there time and energy rushing from raid to raid and arriving too late. Tostig then sailed to meet HH on Sept 8.

HH burned Scarborough, other towns surrendered, his men made raids on other places in the area untill Sept 20, when some of H2's allis met HH at the Battle of Fulford, with HH the victor.

Meanwhile H2, back in the south, had been gathering and raising another army, after a grueling 4 day forced march H2 and his army reached the area Sept 25 and the tired English forces defeated and killed HH.

Now THE thing that happened after HH sailed the seas, happens. Back down south William of Normandy lands in England, Sept28. H2 has to march his army, tired by the forced march and battle back south again, some 240 miles. This gives William time to rest, prepare and situate his 7000 man army on chosen ground. H2's exhausted army of about the same size arrives, prepares some hasty earthworks on poor ground. October 14 William wins the 10 hour Battle of Hastings in which H2 is killed about a half hour before the end. It was a close battle and many believe HH was only that half hour away from victory when his death turned the tides of battle.

Other stuff happend after Harold Hardrada sailed the seas, Columbus sailed the ocean blue, man landd on the moon, the internet was created, Reese put chocolate around peanut butter, but little of that had anything to do with Harald the Stern, Harold Godwinson, or William the Conquerer. Trying to keep track of HarOld and HarAld is why I just call um good ol' H2 and HH.

1) He had no idea how much money England had or how to tax it.

2) All the earls and churchmen were English and could not be trusted.

3) There was a huge castle at Dover full of English knights who were in Harold Godwinson's army.

4) The region north of the River Humber supported the Scandinavian invasion.

5) Not all of Harold's army had gone to Senlac Hill to fight William, and many were still in England.

Hope this helps :)

He chopped him up into tiny peices so nobody could reconise him

Because he thought he was the best and showed off so then he was bad at it
