The Battle of Hastings Homework

​Tell the story of the Battle of Hastings as a comic strip on one side of A4.
Here are some events to include (they are in the wrong order):

• Other Saxons do the same to meet their doom
• First the Norman archers, then the foot soldiers try to break the shield wall but both fail
• Harold is shot in the eye and the Normans win. William is crowned King of England.
• The Norman cavalry attack
• Godwinson and his Saxon troops are tired from the Battle of Stamford Bridge
• Some Saxons leave the shield wall to chase after retreating Norman cavalry, but they are isolated and die.
• Norman archers can now fire from close range into the Saxon army.
