William and Harold's armies met in battle on Senlac Hill, 6 miles inland from Hastings, on 14 October, with the Normans winning the day. According to legend, Harold was killed by an arrow which struck him in the eye. After a work by Patten Wilson (1869-1934). From A Child's History of England by Charles Dickens [J. M. Dent & Co., New York, 1902]. (Colorised black and white print). Artist (Photo by The Print Collector/Getty Images)
