When the English saw this they rushed down the slope in pursuit, forgetting Harold's command to keep behind their defences. Then the Norman horse turned suddenly round and fell upon them with great slaughter. Up the hill and through the fences they rode, and dashed among the English host. Harold and his chosen band fought fiercely around their standard. Twilight was fast drawing nigh when Duke William turned and said to his archers : " Shoot your arrows high up into the air, that they may fall ...upon the faces of the English. " They did so ; an arrow struck the English king in the eye, and he fell dead. This was the turning-point of the battle. The English fled, and left the Normans masters of the field. Thus ended one of the greatest battles ever fought on English ground. Thus the rule of the old English kings came to an end, and a Norman wore the crown of England. 12. THE DEATH OF THE RED KING. In the Year noo. WILLIAM RUFUS, or William the Second, was the son of William the Conqueror.
