The Battle of Hastings

yes, in 1066 Harold Hardrada was slayed by Harold Godwinson on 11th October at around around 12pm that's when a messenger came and told Godwinson that William of Normandy had arrived in the south so Harold had to take his men down to the south.

It took Harold's soldiers 10 days to get from York to Hastings. (about 250 miles of very poor roads) From the 3rd to the 13th of October, 1066.

The English felt furious and were determined for him to be destroyed. Harald Hardrada, King of Norway invaded England first. He was one of three claimants to the throne of England. He was beaten in battle near York by King Harold. What was left of the Vikings fled to their boats. It was possible that a lot of Harold's army were wounded and killed which reduced his ability for war when he dashed to Hastings on hearing the Normans had landed in England. It was believed that there was not a lot between the two armies in battle but what won it was the Norman archers who managed to kill or wound many Anglo-Saxon lords including Harold. The history says that Harold was killed by an arrow in the eye. It would have been the Anglo-Saxons who would have been downcast by the loss of their king.

the white tower in London happens to be it :)

yes, he did have a banner.
as our doctor, today in civilization course, explained that he had St.Peter's banner that was sent to him by the Pope along with a ring that had St.Peter's hair in it.

Which William Pitt do you mean? And if it's the Elder, which position of power are you referring to? He held several during the 1750s and 60s, both before and after he became Earl of Chatham. If on the other hand you mean the Younger, his first ministry was followed by that of Henry Addington (1801-04), and his second by the Ministry of All the Talents under Lord Grenville (1806-07).

it was all king Edwards fault. if he hadn't of died or he could have had kids, none of this would of ever happened :)

the year it was wrote and the time it was wrote

William of Normandy apparently planned to land in England and draw Harold into a battle, then devastate the countryside, like Sherman on his March to the Sea, in the area around London until they begged for mercy. He benefited from the fact that Harold Hardrada struck first, drawing the Saxon forces north and east to the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Though the Saxons won the battle, they then had to race south and west to Hastings to face William. After which, William laid waste to much of the English countryside. The rest is history. In fact, all of it is history.

yes it was harald hardrada's army and tostig
