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! ;(
