Description

La battaglia di Hastings ebbe luogo il 14 ottobre 1066 a circa 13 km da Hastings, tra le truppe di Aroldo II, re dell’Inghilterra Anglosassone, e Guglielmo , duca di Normandia come Guglielmo II, per il controllo dell'Inghilterra.

L'Inghilterra durante il Medioevo fu per anni territorio di scorrerie e devastazioni dei Vichinghi. Le orde vichinghe partivano dalle loro basi tra i fiordi danesi e con i loro veloci drakkar, o più precisamente dreki, sbarcavano sulle coste inglesi, saccheggiando e distruggendo ogni cosa. Il duca di Normandia approfittò di una grande scorreria guidata da Harald III di Norvegia per radunare un esercito e sbarcare in territorio inglese. L'esercito di Aroldo, che aveva sconfitto Harald solo tre settimane prima, era costituito soprattutto da manipoli di fanteria pesante, molto potente ma assai poco manovrabile in battaglia, mentre il forte dell'esercito di Guglielmo era formato soprattutto dalla cavalleria.
