Then came to the slow advance of the archers, unloosing their first arrows under a hail of enemy spears. And finally the footsoldiers breaking into a run behind them. And then there was just the murderous smashing and crashing of horses, the slicing and thrusting of weapons, the screams, cries of the wounded and dying. If the axeman stood firm against the oncoming horse, he' d still only get one good swing. If he missed, he was left open to the slash of the sword from the rider above.

The right flank of Harold' s army, many of them inexperienced fyrdmen, decided to chase them down the hill. |
