Ten Sixty Six 1066

Ten Sixty Six
By Darren Bailey LRPS

It is known to all that the medieval period was a violent time in the English history. Therefore, this era has witnessed a lot of wars and battles. The first battle that became most famous was the Battle of Hastings wherein the Anglo Saxons were defeated by the Normans to rule over England. After this, most battles were fumed in the Holy Land when the crusades were most dominating. While the Barons War brought about big constitutional modifications in England, the long lasted Hundred Years War between France and England went on for around 116 years.

Battle of Hastings 1066

Occurred on 14th October 1066 in the north of Hastings, the Battle of Hastings was between the Normans and the English. While the Normans were escorted by William the Conqueror, English were guided by King Harold. Edward the Confessor was crowned in 1042 in England. But soon after his death in 1066, claims of crowns reached up to the situation of crisis as Edward had no son or daughter. There were three men to claim the throne: William, the Duke of Normandy, Harold Godwin who was the brother-in-law of Edward, and King Harald Hardrada of Norway who was the brother of Harold Godwin.
