What was the difference between Harolds soldiers and Williams soldiers in the battle of hastings?
Harold's army was a fairly typical Anglo-Saxon army. It was a fyrd, which was a sort of militia army. It was almost entirely infantry, and was supported by Harold's housecarles, an elite heavy infantry force. Since the fyrd was defending, they deployed using the "shieldwall", which was a defensive stance that involved the soldiers standing close together so their large shields resembled a protective wall. Additionally, they set up on a hill, which made their defensive formation even more effective.
William's army was a "modern" (for that time) army. It was about half infantry, and the other half was cavalry (knights) and missile troops (archers and crossbowmen). It was more tactically flexible than Harold's old-style fyrd, and when they were initially unable to bypass the fyrd's shieldwall, they were able to adapt and ultimately defeat it.

Who was it how got a arrow in his eye in the battle of hastins?
According to historical accounts, it is believed that King Harold II of England, also known as Harold Godwinson, was struck in the eye with an arrow during the Battle of Hastings in 1066. This fatal injury allegedly led to his death and the victory of William the Conqueror. However, the specifics and exact details of Harold's death remain contested among historians.
Was Harold Godwineson a good leader?
No, Harold was not a good leader and certainly not as good as William. One of the reasons for this answer is that whilst William prepared his troops the night before the battle, The Saxons got drunk and didn't seem to care. They also didn't have very good tactics or a good plan and I doubt Harold wanted to win as much as William. So consequently, Harold Godwineson was not a good leader.
How were the Aryans and Dravidian peoples alike?
The dravidians were descendants of Elam they are a branch of the Elamites, and theyruled Sumer in Southern Iraq ans well as South west Iran They are a dark middle eastern people who are not semitic or speaking a semitic language! Yes there seems to be a issue with skin color PLEASE GET OVER THIS! as many people from the middle east are dark as well. You will find traces of these people in the gulf yemen saudia Arabia and north Africa being dark does not mean you are from Africa it has to do with the features of ones face and if you see some southern Indian people yes some are very dark and some have beautiful brown skin but their physical look is usually a very straight nose straight to wavy and sometimes curly! the afro asiatic people are different in their appearance and you can tell the two apart based on facial features! As far as the Indo Aryans they come from the son of Noah PBH Japeth just like the europeans and asians! they have been classified as indo European by white scientists but hey are know as Japethic people if you look very close at these people yes they do have fair skin but the features are different then the Persian abd Arabs. Yes during the time when the Arab Muslims came to Persia there were some Persians from Baluchastan who were not Muslim migrated to the area that is true. some does not mean all! the punjabis have a sikhHINDU) culture Sikhs were originally hindus! both the Punjabi and Hindi languages come from sanskrit. So again being brown or dark has nooooooo bearing on anything.
Who had more troops William or Harold?
It is thought that William had 3000 cavalry, 1000 archers and the rest infantry. But Harold had no cavalry, fewer archers thus his army was mostly infantry, as he lost most of his troops on the way from Stamford Bridge. So it was most probably William who had more troops.
Hope i was a good help :)

What technology did they use in Battle of Hastings?

Did William win the battle of hastings because of weather?
Not really, he would have actually taken the whole of England quicker, if it hadn't been for bad weather. As he could not set sail for England with his army until the wind had not been so gusty in the English Channel. As Harold was fighting Hardradra, the king of Norway he would have been delayed and this would have given William the time to take the whole of England. Though as William was held up with weather, this gave Harold time to beat Hardrada. Then William invaded, Harold then set his army across the country to fight William, though Harold's army were tired they were winning as they had the height advantage (they were on a hill). and a strong line of defence (a wall of shields). According to a record at the Bayeux tapestry, the weather was perfect the air was warm and the sun was out. So I can not really believe that it was pouring down with rain the next day when the shield wall broke and William had officially won the battle. I hope I have given a good answer.
