The battle of hasting's was the English vrs the Normans the Normans had numbers and skill. They also had much more cavalry English where on foot armed with sharpened stakes battle axes swords shields and spears. They where lesser equipped and also didn't have cavalry or numbers when the battle started the English seemed to be winning. What was true they where but the Normans aimed there bows high and smashed into the thanes and the king. The king and most of his thanes where slain with shouts of exultation the Normans thrust forward but the English seeing the fall of their king. Fought harder but finally the undisciplined levies broke and fled the house carls and thanes fought to the last.
