William first sent his archers forward, but the English caught the arrows on their sheilds.
-
The Norman calvary then charged up the hill, but failed to break the wall.
-
Norman attacks continued throughout the day, with the Anglo-saxon sheild wall standing firm
At one point, a rumour went around William's army that he had been killed. William tipped his helmet back to show he was still alive.
-
- Harold's sheild wall began to break up
After one Norman attack, part of Harold's army left the sheild wall to chase William's men down the hill.
-
The saxon sheild wall began to break up, this made it harder to defend against the Norman calvary charges.
Harold, his brothers housecarls and remaining men held their ground.
