Who is Battle of Hastings?

The Battle of Hastings was a big fight between two kings that changed how people lived in England.

Imagine you're playing a game of tug-of-war with your friends. One team is the Normans, led by King William, and the other is the Anglo-Saxons, led by King Harold. The Normans were like a strong group who had just learned how to win at games, they came from France, and they were really good at fighting on horseback. The Anglo-Saxons were already in England, but they had been busy fighting other people for a while.

The Battle of Hastings happened when King Harold tried to stop the Normans from taking over England. It was like when you have to defend your favorite game spot from another team, you fight really hard, and sometimes it takes a long time.

This big fight changed who ruled England, just like how winning a game can make you the boss of the playground.
