The background to the battle was the death of the childless King Edward the Confessor in January 1066, which set up a succession struggle between several claimants to his throne. Harold was crowned king shortly after Edward's death, but faced invasions by William, his own brother Tostig, and the Norwegian King Harald Hardrada (Harold III of Norway). Hardrada and Tostig defeated a hastily gathered army of Englishmen at the Battle of Fulford on 20 September 1066, and were in turn defeated by Harold at the Battle of Stamford Bridge five days later. The deaths of Tostig and Hardrada at Stamford Bridge left William as Harold's only serious opponent. While Harold and his forces were recovering, William landed his invasion forces in the south of England at Pevensey on 28 September 1066 and established a beachhead for his conquest of the kingdom. Harold was forced to march south swiftly, gathering forces as he went.
The exact numbers present at the battle are unknown as even modern estimates vary considerably. The composition of the forces is clearer: the English army was composed almost entirely of infantry and had few archers, whereas only about half of the invading force was infantry, the rest split equally between cavalry and archers. Harold appears to have tried to surprise William, but scouts found his army and reported its arrival to William, who marched from Hastings to the battlefield to confront Harold. The battle lasted from about 9 am to dusk. Early efforts of the invaders to break the English battle lines had little effect. Therefore, the Normans adopted the tactic of pretending to flee in panic and then turning on their pursuers. Harold's death, probably near the end of the battle, led to the retreat and defeat of most of his army. After further marching and some skirmishes, William was crowned as king on Christmas Day 1066.
dude this is absolutely mindblowing. The quality of this video is on the same level as an animated movie. I can't believe how small this channel is, it is frustrating that such great channels always end up small. I have probably watched 20 videos on this battle and this is definitely the best!
Thank you so much 😀
you're welcome keep up the good work@@historybattles3D
Thank you for the story. Well produced. I love the ending with Willaim's eyes looking up on the crown on his head with an expression that doesn't look too sure of things.
Thank you very much for the wonderful feedback.
Having just watched the Battle of Agincourt, and now the Battle of Hastings, i just subscribed to this channel.
A channel that schools not only in the UK, but around the world that teach the history of these isles.
Excellent, most enjoyable.
Thank so much!
Your wonderful feedback is much appreciated!
The quality is so amazing, that it looks like it's from a video game. Thanks History Battles 3D
Thank you for leaving such a wonderful comment!
Totally undervalued channel. Congrats!
Much appreciated!
Absolutely awesome channel. Nice work!
Love this channel!!!
I've just discovered this channel and loving it. The narration and animations are the best. Sucks that it doesn't get the algo support it deserves but keep at it and it'll get there. Subscribed and sharing etc.
Thank you very much!
Yes, the algorithm is a "mixed" bag, really.
Some videos are promoted alright but others are totally neglected.
Like my latest video which essentially died after 26k views for some reason.
@@historybattles3D
Yeah I'm nowhere near your production capabilities obviously, but I'm making archery videos so I'm kinda aware of how this stuff works. Although, I just make them for the sake of it when I'm in the mood.
Yes new video is here
Amazing work, mate!
Thanks a lot!
Straight to the point! Good Job Sir.
Thank you very much Sir!
Great video, deserves more views and subs
Thanks for your hard work HB as always!
My pleasure!
@@historybattles3Dcould you do the next episode about the greek wars ? Marathon,Alexander the great,the Spartans?
And yes i subscribed😊
Greetings from Holland
incredible work!!! thanks for another history leason
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another great video mate, I would love to see one on Atilla
Thanks for this video. Very nice. Greetings From Normandy.
Thank you for watching!
Yesssssssssssssss. Been hoping for this from your channel.
Pleeeeeease who a battle tactic historically accurate Paulinus v's Boudica next.
Also, it's limited to 1080p. Is that because it just got uploaded and will render in higher res later?
Thank you very much!
I'll probably make a couple of videos with topics that are focusing on the wider Medieval period and then Rome should be within reach !
EDIT: I'm not actually uploading the videos at 4k resolution due to my poor internet connection.
It will take 3-4 days for a file of that size to be uploaded, unfortunately.
Never mind, my monitor is only 1440p any way and it still looks great in 1080p.@@historybattles3D
This is such amazing work. I bet the research and animation take a monumental amount of time. Have you ever thought about covering the Battle of Gravelines?
Thank you so very much for your kind words and for noticing the work I do!
Every medieval or Roman era battle is within my schedule for sure.
My honest take on what videos I'll make is that I try to figure out which topic is going to turn out popular and then I make it.
As long as it is doable of course.
Amazing
Very good thank you
Thank you for watching!
Excellent work! Please please please do Gettysburg next!
Τhank you very much!
I'll try for sure, once I'm able to make gunpowder era videos Gettysburg is high on the list.
15:20 "donimo effect"😆 and many other more
Usurpatation and medelieval
this is cool
This is amazing, can you please cover Arabian and Persian battles. I know it will look good in the desert
Thank you very much!
I'll definitely make Arab -Persian battles at some point.
I'm thinking of making the battle of Carrhae in the near future for eg.
The facial ticks these characters have are so funny
Siege of Orleans would be a great next video
How in the world did you create this?
interesting that youtube didn't promote this.
Harold was so so so lucky that Harald Hardrada ONLY took a small part of his army with out there armor on at Stamford bridge
Or maybe he was unlucky he had to fight 2 invasions simultaneously.
The video claims with certainty that Harold was shot in the eye leading to the loss of the battle. How true was it or was it just added to make it sound more dramatic
It's commonly accepted, but debated.
It's shown in the Bayaux tapestry that he was hit in the eye, but this was merely a commemorative story told by the winners. So could be full of a lot of propaganda.
Also some have said that it was originally depicting a spear that was later changed to an arrow.
Only thing we know for sure is that he was killed on the hill.
If anyone requires unique expertise in the Medieval Art of War for these animations I strongly suggest to contact Schwerpunkt and/or check out his channel
ironic Harold killed Harald Hardrada with a arrow to his neck then this Harold died with an arrow to his Eye, ouch
I still wish they hadn't charged down the hill and the battle had gone the other way.
Don't we all
Makes you wonder about the authenticity of the Anglo Saxon as a genetic group.
WTF, there is something wrong with UA-cam algo if this video only got 9k views in two months.
Just wondering . An army of 8000 crossed the channel in 700 " warships ".
Isn't that more like 11 guys to a rowboat rowing across the channel ?
Hastings was the last stand of the Saxons, though we should bear in mind that a high percentage of English forces were "Housecarls," i.e., Danish mercenaries who served as regular guardsmen of English nobles.
And with that, Britain was no longer an Anglo/Norse nation, but became a Franco/Latin nation.
Just think, if Godwinson had stayed south or fought William first, that at the worst, Britain would have been Anglo/Norse for centuries to come. No castles, no rapes, no harrowing of the north, no hundred years war or war of the roses, or Tudors...
Alas...
no chevaleries coming from France :)
How could the Saxon King be shot by a arrow, when the archers are standing idle at the foot of the hill. The animator should have brought them up the hill with the full scale assault from the normans.
william the conquerer was no french. he was English like Harold gone to Normandy to escape whatever the reason brewing at the time. So Brit defeated brit and it was no french hand.
William wasn’t English. He was mixed Frankish and Norse descent.
well he spoke french like his descendent Richard John and many others :)
and Arthur king of Britanny grand son of Aleanor of Aquitaine too :)
Medelevil 😅🤣😂
Don’t forget donimo and usurpatation!
4.k views!!! god the youtube algorithm is garbage
Indeed, for some reason this particular video is completely dead.
The hairstyle of William is all wrong. The Normans had their head shaved on the backside. Harold having a mustache is correct, and so is the shaved William. Also sad with a channel that have videos in a documentary style, but use AI voices that can't pronounce various, simple words. It should be a bit embarrassing with a video about something in the Middle Ages, but not able to pronounce Medieval - ("meddle eval"...) I was considering subscribing, but there's too much AI, and videos getting spewed out without enough work or study behind them, when meant to describe important, historical events. There's lots of other errors. Just a view of the Bayeux Tapestry and bit by bit explanation of it, would have had a higher educational value. Gladly here's rules coming on UA-cam that will be working against synthetic content.
First of all, I worked endless hours for over two months to create this video.
I hand crafted almost everything from the battle maps the strategic maps to the armor the soldiers are wearing.
Working 10 and 14 hours per day to produce that.
Secondly, the Voice Over is probably the easiest part of the creation of this video which takes no more than a day to the artist that's making it.
Finally, the Voice Over isn't AI, it was made by a real Voice Artist.
In fact, NO AI was used in the creation of this video.
@@historybattles3D Hi, I'm sorry if I offended you. I never put into question your hard work , my comment about AI content being "spewed out" was regarding the whole of UA-cam, and not aimed at you in specific. I should have describe that better, if it's possible to see anywhere my previous comments on other channels and other videos, you'll see I've been in a day-long rage about the AI-thing and how some are able to spew out low quality stuff at an amazing speed, all but polluting UA-cam where people like you, are working hard, to present something good.
My main criticism was just tiny errors, that make the good work with graphics and such (that made me want to subscribe) into something that don't seemed well researched, because of the small errors I noticed after having read a book about the Norman invasion of Britain a month or two ago. This made the dozens of channels that only use Total War video game graphics, into something I remember to prefer listening to, because it had lots of hard facts, that people that want to learn about history enjoy listening to and learning from.
I don't know what Voice Over is, but it is clearly synthetic, not your own voice. Why not narrate it yourself? If English is not your native language, like with me, you still seem to master it fairly well?
Anyway, good luck with the channel. Remember that the internet is full of people like me that rather criticize the tiny errors they can find, instead of giving empty praise. I certainly didn't mean anything bad. It was just a comment, showing interest.

@@elvenkind6072 Thank you for the detailed reply.
The only thing that made me reply in a slightly aggressive tone was the mention of AI.
I haven't used AI for anything.
Everything was painstakingly created by me and I don't even have a second person to help with anything.
As for the Voice OVer. I thought that outsourcing the VO my help the channel grow faster BUT the results are quite mixed.
The videos performed quite well with this Voice OVer despite the backlash from viewers about specific mispronunciations.
But from now on I'll be doing all of my voice overs given the bad performance of the latest videos and the lackluster profitability of the channel.
but nothing you show is even remotely historically accurate? they wouldn't fight like that at all
