Battle
' By G. MacLeod Ross
' Because Oct. 13, 1966, is the
900th anniversary of Hastings,
innumerable people have writ-
ten about and continue to write
about the Norman Conquest of
England. General de Gaulle
promised great celebrations, of
which we have 'heard nothing
to date. Lord Montgomery gave
us an article on how he would
have acted 'had he been in Har-
old's place. The Montgomery
of those days was William's sec-
ond in command.
This article of Monty's drew
an ingenious reply from a boy
at Manchester Grammar School,
who signed himself Harold II
Godwinson. Monty had suggest-
ed that Harold I should split his
forces and send one part north
to deal with the Norwegian in-
vasion at Stamford Bridge. The
other was to watch the south
coast. In fact Harold needed
every man he could muster to
defeat Hardrada in the north:
Coming south he diverted to
London because it was here
that he could find fresh troops.
'l,he Normans had already land-

opposed. Harold was forced to.
make all speed to the west to
face the Normans and as a re-
sult only one third of his troops
were in fighting order. This
being the case he . was forced
to take up a defensive position
rather than attack as he had
planned, at dawn.
William's order of battle from
left to right was: Bretons --Nor-
mans in the centre -French and
Flemish. Seven thousand men
in all, of whom 3,000 were caval-
ry. The Angio -Saxons beat off
an attack on their right wing
and pursued the Bretons, .1b
restore the situation William
sent in his cavalry. Having
sensed that the ,Anglo-Saxons
were not well disciplined, Wil-
liam then feinted to withdraw
his right wing and once again
drew 'Harold's troops from their
defensive position.
Secret Weapon
William then brought into ac-
tion his secret weapon = the
Arbalest, which discharged ar-
rows at greater velocity and at a
higher rate of fire than the out -

Confusion reigned, so that when . before William. The falcon,
which accompanies Harold every-
where, looks very despondent at
this denouement, as does Har-
old. But he patches It up and
even tights for •William against
the presumptuous Duke of Brit-
tany. Possibly under some mea-
sure of duress, Harold is' made
to swear on the holy relics that
he will support William's claim
to the English throne when the
ageing Confessor is gone.
Harold returns to England,
with only a stink in his hand,
to find the steeplejacks are just
fixing the weather vane on the
newly built Westminster Abbey.
Then the Confessor sickens and
the Abbey has to be consecrated
at such short notice that Arch-
bishop Stigand" does not even
have time for a shave before
conducting the ceremony. So
Edward dies and is buried in

Bayeux Tapestry
Let us now look at this en-
gagement through the eyes of
the thousand needles of the Bay-
eux Tapestry. The tapestry is
really embroidery, 231 feet ldng
and 20 inches wide. It is work-
ed in eight colors of worsted,
in couching and stem stitch. It
presents 79 tableaux and was
once believed to be the work
of William's Queen Matilda and
her handmaidens. Matilda was
Alfred the Great's granddaugh-
ter and Edward the Confessor's
-cousin.] It is now believed to
have been finished in 1086 and
was lost for 700 years until
Napoleon I discovered it and
placed it in the Bayeux museum.
Since the Confessor had no
heir, William was ambitious to
succeed him and, in fact, obtain-
ed a more or less formal pro into action. Preparations are

So the Normans make their un-
opposed landing at Pevensey
and settle down to a well earned
meal. There is a splendid "still"
of a Norman meal: brochettes,
stew, even a warming oven.
