Key Specials Hastings 1066 - The Battle and Invasion that Changed History
The Battle of Hastings and the subsequent Norman Conquest was arguably the most significant event not just in English history, but that of the world. The unified nation that eventually emerged from the Conquest grew in strength and self-belief as it too conquered other territories and peoples, ultimately creating the largest empire ever seen. This 100-page special examines why the Normans invaded in 1066, how they defeated the Saxons at Hastings and then completed their Conquest of the country. This fascinating story is brought to life in a rich assortment of unique illustrations.
Features include:
The Men from the North
The Viking invasions of Britain and Western Europe.
Swords Around the Throne
The reign of Edward the Confessor and the rival factions for the English throne.
First Blood
The Vikings land in the north of England, only to be crushed by England’s new King Harold at Stamford Bridge.
The Battle of Hastings
