This is a turning point in English history and there are many twists and turns that could be made into your thesis statement.
Here is some information that you could use.

The Battle of Hastings was the most decisive Norman victory in the Norman conquest of England. On October 14, 1066, the Normans of Duke William of Normandy, he defeated the Saxon army led by King Harold II.

Harold had claimed the throne of England for himself in January of that year soon after Edward the Confessor died, ignoring William's earlier claims. The resulting Norman Invasion of Saxon England has remained the final time England has been conquered by a foreign power.

The resulting defeat of England was probably because just two weeks before in a lengthy battle King Harold II and his men defeated the King of Norway in their attempt to conquer England.
