The Battle of Hastings is one of the key events in the history of
the British Isles. This book is not merely another attempt to
describe what happened at Hastings - that has already been done
supremely well by many others - but instead to highlight two
issues: how little we actually know for certain about the battle,
and how the popular understanding of 14 October 1066 has been
shaped by the concerns of later periods. It looks not just at
perennial themes such as how did Harold die and why did the English
lose, but also at other crucial issues such as the diplomatic
significance of William of Normandy's claim to the English throne,
the Norman attempt to secure papal support, and the extent to which
the Norman and Anglo-Saxon armies represented diametrically opposed
military systems. This study will be of great interest to all
historians, students and teachers of history and is illustrated
with 10 colour and 10 black & white photographs.
