Not so. Normans were Norman and proud of it. I’m beginning to think history isn’t your strongest suit, Soggs. | |

I've read quite a bit on 1066 and it was very nearly a victory for Harold,so I wouldn't go as far as to say he'kicked our arses',
Harold had just beaten the Vikings at Stamford Bridge when he heard of the Norman Invasion,he marched his men down to the coast,a considerable distance and engaged the Normans.
Harold was inflicting considerable damage on the Normans when part of Harolds army broke ranks to chase fleeing Normans.The Normans cut these men off with the help of their cavalry.
The battle raged for most of the day and only came to an end when Harold was cut down,which was not a easy task as he was protected by his Housecarls who were formidable warriors who could bring down a horse with their axes.
The mistake Harold made was he should have fortified a defensive position some distance from the Normans and waited for reinforcements.So, the Normans were very lucky they didn't get driven back to France.
