The
Norman Invasion
The
Norman Invasion started when William, Duke of Normandy's
7,000 soldiers landed at Pevensey on the morning of
the 28th September 1066. As soon as Harold heard the
news he rushed South again. He marched the 90 miles
back to London so fast that the majority of his army,
already weakened by battle, were left far behind. Without
waiting for reinforcements, Harold quickly marched on
to the south coast to face the invaders. He arrived
with about 7,000 men, although only about 2,000 of these
were his highly trained Housecarls.
