William of Normandy lands at Pevensey
Before dawn on 28 September 1066 a Norman fleet of about 700 ships sailed into Pevensey Bay on the Sussex coast and William, Duke of Normandy, landed his army unopposed. It was three days after King Harold had defeated a Norwegian invasion at Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire, far to the north. Within a few days William had moved east and raised fortifications at Hastings. Harold marched south to meet him, and on 14 October the two armies fought the Battle of Hastings, which left Harold dead and opened the way to the Norman Conquest of England.
