Frequently asked
When did the Battle of Hastings take place?
The Battle of Hastings occurred on October 14, 1066. Interestingly, King Harold had just fought another major battle at Stamford Bridge three weeks earlier, marching his exhausted army 250 miles south to face William's invasion.
Why did William the Conqueror invade England?
William claimed the English throne because he believed King Edward the Confessor had promised it to him, and that Harold had sworn an oath to support his claim. The Norman invasion was planned as a rightful reclamation, not conquest.
How did King Harold II die at Hastings?
Contrary to popular belief, Harold probably wasn't killed by an arrow to the eye. The Bayeux Tapestry suggests he was hacked down by Norman knights after his army's shield wall collapsed during the battle's final phase.
