The Battle of Hastings Williams advantages?

I think it was because Williams army were really well trained and their warriors were better personally. There were many other advantages that William had such as his tactical decisions. He trained his army a lot more than Harold and gave them more equipment.One part of Williams soldiers (the Britons) started to run back down the hill that the battle was fought on and the Saxons soon chased this gave an idea to William, if he sent his cavalry and surround the Saxons he could kill them all so he decided to ask other bites of his army to fake retreat down the hill so the Saxons would follow and his cavalry would slaughter Harold's army. Another tactical decision William made was to line his archers at the back of his main pack of soldiers, and ordered them to fire in the air on top of the Saxons. As they did this, it weekend Harold's defence and in fact killed him because a arrow shot him in the eye! ;(

The battle of Stamford bridge can be construed as positive and negative for Harold.

However the marching up and down the country in a short period of time helped lead to the defeat at the Battle of Hastings. This is due to how fatigued the troops would have been.

How did the king cause the peasants revolt?

The king caused the Peasant's Revolt in a number of. Firstly he raised the taxes from 4d to 12d. In 1381 the people rioted in Essex. Kent and others joined, the leader being Wat Tyler. Soon the rioters reached london. The king at the time was Richard, he was young and was seen as an easy target. These men had no weapons but were determined. Wat Tyler and his men firstly met the king at Rotherhithe, here the peasants shouted kill Simon Sudbury and Robert Hales, the kings advisors. Quickly the king was rushed back to the tower. Soon they met again. Here Wat Tyler made 4 demands: * abolish serfdom * abolish all labour services * punish his advisors * pardon all those who took part in the revolt. The king agreed to all except punishment to his advisors. So the rebels did it for him, htey took Simon and Eobert, killed them and put there heads on poles. Richard then met the rebels at Smithfield. Tyler made more cemands. No one is sure what happened next but Tyler fell from his horse dying. This to was the king's fault. Then the rioters cornered him but he pursauded them to go away and he sais he would keep all promises. However he didn't, many peasants were hanged or had to return back to work. But the feudal system never remained the same. To conclusion if the king had not been unfair and raised the taxes the revolt would not have taken place. The king was completely at fault. Men are meant to be equal; let us hope that today in the world we can keep it fair. I agree men work hard to get something not to get nothing. It also matters what side your on some people thing its the kings fault and some people think its the peasants fault

What was William the Conqueror's trick to get the saxsons to retreat?

During the Battle of Hastings William's army (Normans) was at a standstill as Harold's army (English) had a strong shield wall witch was almost impossible to break. Instead William had a plan, find out there weakness! On two occasions his left wing had broken and the English chased after it. When the Normans regained control the English barely made it back to their own line in time to reform the shield wall. Observing this, William ordered an acted retreat to draw the English out yet again and this time catch them in the open. He used this tactic to successfully perform this 3 times. This was his trick.
