Description:It's an important date in western history: 1066, the year William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings, changing England & the English forever. Yet the events leading to & following this turning point are shrouded in mystery & distorted by biased accounts, & many believe the English ultimately won, since the Normans became assimilated into English ways of life. Drawing on contemporary sources, David Armine Howarth portrays the leading characters & their motivations. At the same time he shows the year's events from the viewpoint of commoners, showing how they lived, worked, fought, died & perceived the overthrow of their world.IntroductionEngland, New Year's DayDeath of a King, Jan. 4Coronation, Jan. 5Rouen, Jan. 10The Comet, April 18Normandy, SpringNorway, SummerNorth Wind, Aug. 10-Sept. 12York, Sept. 20-25The English Channel, Sept. 28The Challenge, Oct. 3-13Hastings, Oct. 14London, Oct. 15-Dec. 25England, New Year's EveSources & AcknowledgementsIndexWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
