The Norman cavalry charged uphill twice and were unable to break the Saxon shield wall, so they resorted to trickery. They charged again, and then appeared to retreat, whereupon the Saxons broke ranks to pursue them. When they were scattered, the Normans wheeled around and charged again. * Some may credit the stirrup for winning this battle because it allowed the Norman knights to remain in the saddle while using their lances. This contributor believes that the value of the stirrups was negated by the uphill charge which forced them to slow down, and they could not hit the shield wall with sufficient force to break it.
