🚩 The Battle of Hastings was extremely important for the history of England. Duke William's invasion was one of the most daring gambles in history and it ended the rule of the Anglo-Saxons that had lasted for over 600 years since the Roman times. The story of what happened was recorded in the Bayeux Tapestry.

People idolize Hardrada for being the last Viking and William for obvious reasons, but Harold gets left out in the cold despite force marching north to annihilate the Viking army at Stamford and force marching back south to almost beat William at Hastings, an impressive feat in itself. If he had won Hastings it would have been a truly incredible military achievement.

Harold: waiting for William His soldiers: It's almost harvesting season!
-
To think William the conqueror would create the Tower of London and it will soon celebrate its 1000th birthday blows my mind
-
Harold’s final days were like being in one of those dreams where you’re just trying to accomplish something, but everything keeps going wrong and you can never quite get it done.
-
little detail : the reason Harold marched so quickly against William, not waiting for his army to rest more and/or for more troops to arrive, was because William raided land and estates that were direct Harold's property. That way, not only did he gained loot, but he also send a message to the people of England " how can you king defend you, if he can't even defend his own property ? " Thus forcing Harold to fight before he was completly ready.

“Ya imma leave my 8 year old to rule the kingdom, he’s got this” Council: “wut”

These videos are so underrated. They give so much important background information before the battle, and the maps are so incredibly well detailed
-
William really won the day by cheesing the infantry AI with cycle charging lmao
-
Shot out to the game 1066, you saved me from boredom in some many classes
-
Wow. Who needs Game of Thrones, when we have actual history like this, and videos like this one to show how it all went down? Nicely done!
-
Harold was absolutely robbed Underrated English king who would have been remembered as ‘the great’ if he’d lived
-
Imagine if things had gone slightly differently Harold Godwinson might have gone down as one of the greatest rulers in world history.
-
Honestly, Hastings was one of those rare battles that was so close, it came down to which king was killed first. Could’ve just as easily been William felled by a stray arrow. And if so, his army would’ve melted away just as the anglo saxons did. Also, to me, Hastings wasn’t William’s greatest feat. It was maintaining control of both his kingdom and his duchy in the aftermath that’s far more impressive.
-
One thing that I have noticed in your videos so far is your voice. You are a fantastic storyteller for war stories. A very powerful voice and a very clear and understandable English to go with it. Listening to you is like listening to a movie soundtrack. I would love to hear that voice portrait the battle of Gaugamela. Great work from you guys. Keep em coming !

When you look at the names of Normandy cities such as Caen, Carentan, St.Lo you can't help but remember what would happen here in 900 years... Truly what a rich history Normandy has...

Was going to study until I saw the notification. Homework, prepare to get ignored!
-
I’ve walked the actual battlefield (an actual battle hill) and I can safely say that the attacking Norman army must have been exhausted long before they clashed. I was tired walking up that hill with mere clothing, let alone full iron armor. The field had a strange ere to it. Wouldn’t have to convince me of the residual energy there.

Had a feeling today was going to be a good day, new History Marche content just confirms it
-
This battle is by far one of my favorite ones. It is actually the first one I studied in detail. Thank you so much HistoryMarche for the amazing video. The animations are stunning and the narrator is the best! I really appreciate the work put into this video!!!!
