1066 The Year of the Conquest

By David Howarth

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “A few years ago I wrote a book about Waterloo and one about Trafalgar, and tried to describe those battles from the points of view of men who fought in them. Here I have tried to do the same thing with the year 1066: not only its battles, but also the peaceful life that the battles disrupted, and not only its kings and dukes and earls, but also its humble people. 1066 is the date that English people remember from history lessons at school long after they have forgotten all the others.”
