  1. The Battle of Hastings (1066 a.d) By: Christian Legg Period 2

  2. background • Battle between the Normans, led by Duke William II, and the English, led by King Harold II (England’s last Anglo -Saxon ruler) • Feud erupted between the two rulers when Harold’s predecessor, Edward the Confessor, died and left the throne to Harold, after having previously promised the throne to William. • Enraged, William led a force of roughly 6,000 across the English Channel to claim his right to rule by force. • The Normans landed in Sussex, erected a wooden fortress, and raided surrounding areas while Harold fought his brother, Tostig, in Northern England.

  3. The Battle • Occurred on October 14, 1066 • William relied on basic tactics with archers in the front rank weakening the enemy with arrows, followed by infantry which would engage in close combat, culminating in a cavalry charge that would break through the English forces. • Harold’s army held strong against the Norman barrage of arrows with a wall of shields. • As Harold’s army began to falter, William and his cavalry charged and cut down the English infantryman. • Harold and a number of English nobles were killed and, without leaders, their army broke apart in retreat.

  5. The Aftermath • After marching through and conquering most of southern England, the English nobles finally gave in and agreed to recognize William of Normandy as the King of England. • William was crowned on Christmas Day, 1066, at Westminster Abbey. • Battle Abbey now sits on the battlefield to commemorate the “last successful invasion of the British Isles”. • The Bayeux Tapestry is the most famous work depicting William’s conquest of England.
