Death of Harold at the Battle of Hastings, 1873. Creator: Unknown
Death of Harold at the Battle of Hastings, 1873. Harold II (c1022-1066) was nominated as his successor as King of Angles and Saxons by Edward the Confessor. His claim to the throne was disputed by William of Normandy, however, who landed at Pevensey, Sussex with an army on 28 September 1066. William and Harolds armies met in battle on Senlac Hill, 6 miles inland from Hastings, on 14 October, with the Normans winning the day. According to legend, Harold was killed by an arrow which struck him in the eye. From " Cassells Illustrated History of England". [Cassell, Petter & Galpin, 1873]

Death of Harold at the Battle of Hastings, 1873 - A Glimpse into a Fateful Encounter
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment in British history - the death of King Harold II during the infamous Battle of Hastings. The image, created by an unknown artist in 1873, depicts the intense clash between Harold's Anglo-Saxon army and William of Normandy's forces on Senlac Hill. Harold II, nominated as Edward the Confessor's successor to rule over Angles and Saxons, faced fierce opposition from William who sought to claim England's throne for himself. On that fateful day - October 14th, 1066 - arrows flew through the air as both armies fought relentlessly with axes, pikes, and halberds. Legend has it that it was an arrow striking Harold in his eye that sealed his fate. This tragic event marked not only the end of a courageous monarch but also signaled the Norman Conquest which would shape Britain's future. The engraving featured here is part of "Cassells Illustrated History of England" published by Cassell & Company Ltd. , offering us a glimpse into this significant historical event. It serves as a reminder of how power struggles can alter destinies and reshape nations. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to that battlefield in East Sussex where brave men fought for their beliefs. Let us remember their sacrifice and honor those whose lives were forever changed on that decisive day at Hastings.
