The Battle of Hastings, fought on 14 October 1066, changed the
course of English history. This most famous moment of the Norman
Conquest was recorded in graphic detail in the threads of the
Bayeux Tapestry, providing a priceless glimpse into a brutal
conflict. In this fresh look at the battle and its surrounding
campaigns, leading medieval military historians Michael Livingston
and Kelly DeVries combine the imagery of the tapestry with the
latest modern investigative research to reveal the story of
Hastings as it has never been told and guide visitors around the
battlefield today. This absorbing new account of the battle will be
fascinating reading for anyone keen to find out what really
happened in 1066: the journeys by which Harold Godwinson and
William of Normandy came to the battlefield, and the latest
reconstructions of the course of the fighting on that momentous
day. It is also a practical, easy-to-use guide for visitors to the
sites associated with the conquest as well as the Hastings
battlefield itself.
