I=Norman archers
ReplyDeleteD=William was one of the most formittable leaders in Europe
E=William was strong and powerful but skilled in the battle
A=was important for William so he could get more land
Thanks for your comment - to improve you should consider the following:
ReplyDeleteI=You should developed a bit more detail e.g. The Normans used archers at Hastings.
D= Give facts and details about the archers - your description does not current match your point.
E=Your first explanation was about William but your point is about archers - explain how archers helped him to win this battle.
A=Your first assessment was about land. You should be assessing if Norman archers agrees with the question or not ans evaluating how important they were to William for winning the battle.
thanks for the advice sir
ReplyDeleteI Harold Godwinson dismantled his army
ReplyDeleteD William could fight but godwinsons army was dismantled
E William could win easy because godwinsons army was small
A this agrees that this is the point he won
I: Williams soldiers where well trained.
ReplyDeleteD: Williams soldiers had more of a chance of winning because they where well trained and the Anglo-Saxons where mainly farmers and untrained.
E: all of Williams soldiers helped William win the war by using tactics and strategies.
A: I think this agrees with the question because William had well trained soldiers
I william was strong
ReplyDeleteD he could fight well
E he could use his knowledge to win
A this agrees that his soiders were the reason
I=Norman knights
ReplyDeleteD=the were strategic with the knights weakening the Anglo-Saxon wall
E=because William wanted to win the war he strategically got his horses and knights to weaken the Anglo-Saxon wall
A=and it was Williams strong point in the war by weakening the shield
I=Williams soldiers were better trained than Harold's
ReplyDeleteD=Harold's soldiers were untrained so William had a better advantage
E=William made his soldiers be strategic and clever e.g. pretending to retreat
A=i think this argues with the question that William was strategic and Harold wasn't so that s why William won the war
I
ReplyDeleteNorman Archers
D
William had his archers trained so they could hit anything up to 100m away.
E
The archers could hold the Anglo-Saxons in a certain position so they can’t advance forwards.
A
This kind of does agree with the question because without William’s archers he would have he would have lost because the Anglo-Saxons would be able to move forward and kill them.

ReplyDeleteI: William.
ReplyDeleteD: William was one of the most decorated kings in Europe.
E: William helped himself win by leading his army to war.
A: I think this agrees
I: William won the battle because of the troops he had e.g. archers and Calvary because the archers were long range and are very tactical and the Calvary were fast and packed a punch.
ReplyDeleteD:They were able to lure the Anglo- Saxons down the hill by false retreating.
E: Their entire Calvary can charge at them also it made the Saxons weak and vulnerable.
A: This is with the question if haven’t noticed already.
I tactics
ReplyDeleteD: they lured the Saxons down the hill by fake retreating.
E: it helped him win by splitting up the Saxons so they could just go in and kill them.
A: I think it agrees.
I: SOLDIERS
ReplyDeleteD: the soldiers were well trained.
E: It helped him win the war because they were well trained and new what they were doing
A: I think this agrees.
I: SAXONS
ReplyDeleteD: they were mostly hardly trained farmers.
A: this only helped William win the war because they were untrained farmers.
A: I think this agrees
I: Saxons defence
ReplyDeleteD: there defence was mainly making walls with there shields.
E: this helped William win because it was weak defence so he could send in men on horse to stab them from above.
A: I think this agrees.
I-He had more men than Harold.
ReplyDeleteD-He had lots of friends in high places.
E-They were well trained men prepared for war.
A-This agrees because it would allow William to fight on longer and they would be able to kill more men.
I=Harold was outnumbered
ReplyDeleteD=normans had more men than Harold
E=normans could fight better because they had more men
A=the normans won because they outnumbered the English army
I=harolds men were mostly farmers
ReplyDeleteD=they were poorly trained
E=the normans were way better train
A=I think this is because the normans won the war because of harolds poorly trained "warriors"
