The Middle Ages Suck Part Two: The Battle Of Hastings

    In Part One of The Middle Ages Suck, you discovered the stupidity of feudalism, now we are going to reveal how feudalism was brought to England. King Harold of England led his army out to battle with the Viking invaders in 1066. The invaders ambushed the coast of England. When King Harold's army arrived they defeated the Viking invaders. Soon after that the King had to march his army back to the south side of England to defeat the Norman invaders. The English were winning the battle when the Normans decided to change their battle technique, instead of aiming their bows for the bodies of the soldiers, the Normans aimed for the heads of the soldiers. As a result, King Harold is shot in the eye. Later on the English get the idea that the Normans are retreating, so the give up their high battle position and chase after them which didn't end in good results, the English lost the battle to King William The First.

NOTE:  For clarification the Normans came from France.
