King #HaraldGodwinson, the last Anglo-Saxon king of England fought #WilliamTheBastard of Normandy, at #Hastings. The battle was lost, and the course of history itself was changed, when King Harald was killed by an arrow striking him in the eye.
@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialOn #ThisDayInHistory in 1066, #HaroldGodwinson, the last #Saxon king of England, may've taken an arrow in the eye at the #BattleOfHastings. A victorious #WilliamTheBastard rebranded himself #WilliamTheConqueror, launching centuries of #NormanFrench rule & this confusing language.
