William the Conqueror: 1061 to 1066

Quitting your camp at Hastings, you march toward London rapidly: any delay will see an end to your accumulated provisions, and then you will begin to weaken. This close to the enemy you cannot afford to break your army up to forage more efficiently. You trust that your challenge will affect the chivalry-minded Harold, and he will come at once to do battle. But in fact, you have misjudged your man: Harold is a good general and knows a strategic blunder when he sees one. You arrive at London to find the entire, formidable English army behind the city walls. Now you must besiege the city, or withdraw back to Hastings and your fortified camp.
Withdraw back to Hastings.
Lay siege to London.
