1066 and Before All That: The Battle of Hastings, Anglo-Saxon and Norman England

Author	Ed West
ISBN	1510719911

A riveting account of the most consequential year in English history, marked by bloody conflict with invaders on all sides.

1066 is the most famous date in history, and with good reason, since no battle in medieval history had such a devastating effect on its losers as the Battle of Hastings,...
