The Battle of Hastings in 1066 featured three key leaders: William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy, who led the Norman forces; King Harold II of England, who commanded the Anglo-Saxon army; and King Harald Hardrada of Norway, who initially invaded England but was defeated at the Battle of Stamford Bridge shortly before Hastings. William's victory at Hastings ultimately led to the Norman conquest of England and significant changes in English society and governance.
