1-234570

Following in the footsteps of the Viking warriors of Harald Hardrada, the knights of William of Normandy, and the Anglo-Saxon soldiers of King Harold, the reader is taken on a journey from Yorkshire to the South Coast. Re-examines what has been written about that momentous year - the intrigues, preparations and maneuvers - which culminated on 14 October 1066 on a bloody hill somewhere in Sussex. Considers challenges to the traditional site of the Battle of Hastings on the slopes of what is today Battle Abbey. Covers three 1066 battles: Fulford, Stamford Bridge, and Hastings.
