  4. William’s Arrival in England William sailed from Normandy to England in 1066. His fleet of ships landed at Pevensey on the south coast of England. When William landed his target was London: the capital and centre of power. To get there he had to travel up the country from the south coast. William hoped to meet Harold’s army along the way. Harold’s army was forced to march 250 miles south to meet William because he had just defeated Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge. When the two armies met at Hastings, Harold’s army were weary. They were also massively outnumbered. However, they occupied higher ground, Senlac Hill. Senlac Hill was surrounded by marshy ground which meant the Norman’s would struggle to cross.

  5. Kick off at 09:30am When the fighting begun at around 09:30am, trumpets blared to signal both armies to start fighting. The Norman’s were lined up with archers at the front, the foot soldiers behind the archers and finally the cavalry and William bringing up the rear. The English used a shield wall to stop protected the soldiers from arrow fire. They also hurled spears from behind their shield wall.

  6. The End of the Battle News came to the Norman’s that William was dead. Many soldiers in William’s army ran away. English soldiers followed them, running down Senlac Hill. However, the news was wrong, William was alive and his soldiers turned around and hacked down the English. Fighting went on well into the evening. Harold was killed by a group of Norman soldiers although some people think he was shot in the eye with an arrow. This left William as the new King of England.
