			== Essay Introduction ==
			The Battle of Hastings in 1066 marked a '''crucial turning point in English history'''. The victory of William, Duke of Normandy, over Harold Godwinson of England had '''far-reaching consequences'''. This essay aims to assess the extent to which (William's skills/Harold's mistakes) contributed to his triumph in the Hastings campaign. While (William's skills/Harold's mistakes) such as... played a significant role, it is important to acknowledge that (Harold's mistakes/William's skills) and other factors also influenced the outcome of the battle.
