It was fought between the Norman-French army of William, Duke of Normandy (later known as William the Conqueror) and the Anglo-Saxon army of King Harold II. After a long and bloody fight, Harold was killed—traditionally said to be struck by an arrow in the eye—and William’s forces won. This victory led to the Norman conquest of England, changing the country’s language, culture, and ruling class. #british #british
