Senlac Hill, Hastings, East Sussex, England

The Battle of Stamford Bridge preceded Hastings. After defeating the Vikings there, the Anglo-Saxon forces had to march across the width of England from the bridge to battle William at Hastings.

September 20 - the Battle of Fulford

September 25 - the Battle of Stamford Bridge

October 14 - The Battle of Hastings
