Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Battle - Types of battle

Battles can be fought on land, sea, or by the modern age, in the air. Naval battles have occurred since before the 5th century BC.

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Hastings - Geography

Hastings is situated where the sandstone beds, at the heart of the Weald, known geologically as the Hastings Sands, meet the English Channel, forming tall cliffs to the east of the town. Hastings Old Town is in a sheltered valley between the East Hill and West Hill (on which the remains of the Castle stand). In Victorian times and later the town has spread westwards and northwards, and now forms a single urban centre with the more suburban area of St Leonards-on-Sea to the west. Roads from the Old Town valley lead towards the Victorian area ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Harald III of Norway - Invasion of England

Harald was killed at the Battle of Stamford Bridge, outside the city of York, England. The battle took place on 25 September 1066. Harald died fighting against the forces of King Harold Godwinson of England. He had come to England with the idea of claiming the English Throne as his own. He landed in Northern England with a force of around 5,000 men and 300 longboats, and had won a great victory on 20 September against the first English forces he met at the Battle of Fulford two miles south of York. Some speculate that Harald's defeat at the ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Fulford - English charge

The English struck first. They knew that they could not resist the full might of the invaders and would rather attack their smaller army first. This was a very logical move. Why face nearly 6,000 when you can face 4,000-5,000? The battle started out well as Morcar's troops pushed Harald's troops back into the marshlands. Unfortunately, these troops were Harald's worst men, giving the Vikings the advantage of still having their best men fresh and prepared for battle as the Englis ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World - Point of view

The book is a product of the Victorian era, and Creasy's descriptions of the battles and their impact on history are from a decidely Eurocentric, and specifically Anglocentric, point of view. For example, every one of Creasy's choices involve Europeans as one or both of the combatants. Of the ten battles fought among Europeans, five of these involve the English. Five of the battles are described as a clash of civilizations between European and Asiatic powers (or between the Indo-European and Semitic races), with each one being a European vic ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Leidang - England

In Saxon times, defenses were based upon the fyrd, the Anglo-Saxon version of the Scandinavian leidang. It was a militia of all able-bodied men that was called up from the districts threatened with attack. Service in the fyrd was usually of short duration and the participants were obliged to provide their own arms and provisions. The origins of the early militia can be traced back to at least the seventh century. It is likely that the obligation of Englishmen to serve in the fyrd or peoples army is older than our oldest records. Alfred the Great is credited with ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Hastings and Rye UK Parliament constituency - History

The constituency is set in a relatively isolated part part of Sussex and so does not enjoy some of the more general affluence of this part of the country. Rye is a largely historic tourist town, though with a small port. Hastings is a traditional seaside resort, but with some light industry. It is considered a deprived area. In the days of Kenneth Warren MP this was a staunchly conservative seat, with liberals regularly in second place. This switched dramatically in 1997 to Labour first, conservatives second. This was partly ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Hastings - Buildings

The most important buildings from the late medieval period are the two churches in the Old Town, All Saints' and St Clement's. On the beach near the Old Town are the so-called "net shops", said to be unique to Hastings, but similar huts can be found in Whitby — these are wooden constructions, weatherboarded and tarred, of various shapes and sizes, used for storage. The buildings were built tall and narrow to avoid payment of ground tax. The huts were never used for net drying, this is a popular misconception, nets were dried on the beach or on ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Battle - The effects of a battle

Battles cause both individually and politically affects. The individual effect of a battle is that of a psychological or a physical effect. The effect psychologically can be in the memories of the men battle.

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Battle - The effects of a battle

Battles have both personal and political effects. The personal effect of a battle can be a psychological or a physical effect; a psychological effect is on the minds of the participants. For example, many battle-survivors have nightmares or abnormal reactions to certain sights or sounds. The physical effects of battle on survivors can include scars, amputations, lesions, loss of hearing, blindness, and paralysis. Battles also affect politics. A decisive battle that is won can cause one side to surrender – or that same victory can be ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Battle - Characteristics of battle

British military historian Sir John Keegan suggested an ideal definition of battle as "something which happens between two armies leading to the moral then physical disintegration of one or the other of them" though the origins and outcomes of battles can rarely be summarised so neatly. The "action" of battle is to reach a decision — the ideal decision is victory but strategy and circumstances often require a compromise. One party is deemed to have achieved victory when its opponent has surrendered, been dispersed, forced to retreat ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Battle - Aerial battles throughout history

The most common aerial form of battle is the dog fight. This type of battle can lead to pilots becoming elite. One example of this was the German pilot Manfred von Richthofen, deemed the Red Baron because he took out 80 airplanes for the Germans. The two types of warplanes are bombers and fighters. Fighters are designed to be good against other planes and bombers are designed to bombard enemy troops, cities, or buildings. Sometimes bombers would encounter enemy fighters and win. Today, ste ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Battle - Battle naming

Battles are almost invariably named after some feature of the battlefield geography, such as the name of a town, forest or river. Occasionally battles are named after the date on which they took place, such as The Glorious First of June. In the Middle Ages it was considered important to settle on a suitable name for a battle which could be used by the chroniclers. For example, after Henry V of England defeated a French army on 25 October 1415, he met with the senior French herald and they agreed to name the battle after the nearby castle and ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - Battle cry - Examples of battle cries

Battle cry - Intimidating. The Rebel yell, a call taken up by troops fighting on the side of the Confederacy during the American Civil War. The Vikings screamed and imitated animal sounds during battle to intimidate their enemies. One of their cries was "Ahoy!". Of course, this has since become a peaceful greeting used by sailors of many nations, but at the time it was considered to be extremely warlike. Many Native Americans used animal sounds to frighten and communicate. Some Native American ethnic groups are f ...

Battle of Hastings: Encyclopedia II - History of Kent - Medieval Kent

Following the invasion of William the Conqueror the people of Kent adopted the motto Invicta meaning undefeated and claiming (quite wrongly) that they had frightened the Normans away, presumably in an attempt to defame the people of Hastings in neighbouring Sussex. During the medieval period, Kent produced several rebellions including the Peasants' Revolt led by Wat Tyler and later, Jack Cade's rebellion of 1450. Thomas Wyatt led an army into London from Kent in 1553, against Mary I. Canterbury became a great pilgrimage site fo ...
