After the Battle of Hastings
Hi! My homework at university was to translate the text about the Battle of Hastings from Russian to English. I will be so thankful If you guys correct my mistakes.
On the 14th October 1066, fate of England was sealed. This fateful day William's I the Conqueror army made a landing on England shore. The army of Saxon was waiting for them there under the leadership of Harold II. It wasn't clear for a long time who would gain a victory but then it tipped the balance in favour of William only after a host of clever distractions. He ordered the soldiers to pretend they were leaving the Island and when the triumphant Saxons set off after them, William stopped his army and ordered to shoot up so the arrows killed a good many.
One of them was Harold II, the last Saxon king. He was struck with the arrow right in his eye. Afterwards William ordered to build the St. Martin de Tours Abbey better known as Battle Abbey. Its ruins still overlook the valley where the soldiers of the Conqueror was preparing to the battle. The sea, by which arrived the Norman fleet, look through the hills were covered with woodland in times gone by... A heap of stones points where Harold died. It's an isolated little nook, where the tragedy took place, which is hidden by the trees from the of the world. This place is in complete silence, through the trees the church can be seen, and nothing else but its chime is heard from time to time. The stones were the witnesses of the greatest events in human history, now are covered by heather.
William I the Conqueror was a practical man with iron will. He had capacities which didn't have his new lieges. He never doubted and hesitated, he was an optimist to the core. He lived a quite short life but completely changed his new motherland. This island, such a familiar for invaders, was never taken over again.

Well done, a very good effort.
