A unique collection of materials focused on one of the most
significant battles in European history. The Battle of Hastings is
a unique collection of materials focused on one of the most
significant battles in European history. It includes all the
primary sources for the battle, including pictorial, and seminal
accounts ofthe battle by the major historians of the last two
centuries. Stephen Morillo, in his own important piece, first sets
the scene, describing the political situation in western Europe in
the mid-eleventh century, and the events of1066. He then introduces
the sources, reviewing the perspective of their medieval authors,
and traces the history of writing about the battle. An important
companion to the sources and interpretations is the set of original
maps of the major stages of the battle, from first contact in the
early morning of 14 October 1066 to final pursuit in the late
evening darkness. Sources: WILLIAM OF POITIERS, WILLIAM OF
