    The Battle of Hastings took place on October 14, 1066 between the Norman-French army of William the Conqueror and the English army under Anglo-Saxon King Harold II. It resulted in a decisive Norman victory that changed the course of English history. William landed his troops in secret while Harold was unaware. The next day, the Norman and Saxon armies fought fiercely until Harold and the Saxons were cut down by Norman swords. The Battle of Hastings earned its name as "the battle that changed history" due to its huge impact on the people, culture, and how England was viewed thereafter, replacing Anglo-Saxon customs with new Norman language and culture.
