The Battle of Hastings

He was not English.

The French Language spoken by the Norman conquerors.

The line of defence was called the shield wall. This is were the anglo-saxons locked all the shields together to create a wall were the opposing army would have to try and break through.

Very little. The Anglo-Saxon population were subjugated.

Yes

hahahaa

fack you kent

Because if they were villens they were not allowed to leave unless their owner let them

nothing much just sat and wait xx

What was a saxons mistake ?

Golgotha was called CALGARY, not cavalry. It is just a name for it in a different language.

Harold Godwinson's forces killed Harold Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, so Hardrada died before Harold Godwinson.

hey there

There were only 6 Saxon barons because it was how many there were. No particular reason. These men were the men who began to conspire against King John in 1209.

William holds Patcham after 1066

The Bayeux Tapestry, while a valuable historical artifact depicting the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, cannot be fully trusted as an objective source because it was created with a specific political agenda. Commissioned by Bishop Odo, the half-brother of William the Conqueror, the tapestry portrays events in a way that supports Norman claims to power and may exaggerate their heroism while downplaying or demonizing the Anglo-Saxon resistance. Additionally, its artistic interpretations and omissions may reflect biases of the time, making it essential to corroborate its narrative with other historical sources.

It was a major source of transportation,boats and such, as the streets were incredibly narrow and smelly. Also, it served as a natural sewage system, although this eventually led to cholera.

I my self wanna know

King William was called " King William Bruce Martin David Charming!" which is hard to believe but is quite true according to historic evidence!

The English

Sure, lots of them. The Battle of Normandy took place in 1944, only 62 years ago, so an 18 year old soldier would only be 80 years old now.

William the Conqueror, who was the former Duke of Normandy. After securing his French title in 1060 he went on to assemble a large invasion force to overthrow the last true Anglo-Saxon English king, Harold Godwinson. This was because of a dispute between him and Harold- Harold's predecessor was Edward the Confessor, who died childless in the early 1060's and who named Harold, his first cousin once removed and a powerful English Earl, as his successor. William claimed that the English throne had been promised to him, not to Harold, and that Harold had sworn to uphold this promise and was breaking the agreement. The Battle of Hastings was not in fact fought at Hastings at all, but at a location a few miles East up the English South Coast where the town and the Abbey of Battle were subsequently established- it's known as the Battle of Hastings because Hastings was the nearest town to it AT THE TIME. King Harold was killed in action at the vanguard of his troops, by an arrowshot into his eye- William went on to be crowned King of England at Westminster Abbey in the December of 1066, and established Norman rule in England, which later went on to become the Plantagenet Dynasty as Norman and Anglo-Saxon nobility inter-married. The Normans never conquered Scotland, and Wales was only briefly taken by them for a period of just over 30 years before they were driven out again, with Wales continuing then as an independent nation up until around 1165 when the Normans established an uneasy alliance with some of the powerful Welsh princes, and began their programme of castle-building throughout Wales to prevent any future Welsh rebellion. However, they did conquer and settle parts of Eastern Ireland. After his coronation, William actually reverted to spending much of his time back on the Continent, but his main benefit to England was to protect it from repeated threats of invasion by the Danes and the ordering of the compilation of the Domesday Book, a survey of all the landowners in England and the extent of their holdings. But he persecuted the native Anglo-Saxon peasantry and treated them badly, harshly repressing several attempted Saxon rebellions and treating the Saxon lower classes as grossly inferior subordinates. William died whilst leading a military campaign inNorthern France in 1087,and is buried in the French city of Caen- he was succeeded by his son William II, also known as William Rufus.

anonymous just means they didn't know who did it. Also "traditional".

The Normans (led by William) were positioned at the bottom of a hill while Harold's army were at the top !!!
