| Publisher Description: On October 14, 1066, an English army led by the Anglo-Saxon king Harold Godwinson met the Norman-French army of William, Duke of Normandy, northwest of Hastings. The battle they fought there was a decisive Norman victory, in which Harold was killed. Two months later, William was crowned King of England, the first of an incalculable number of consequences of the battle which over time transformed the very identity of England and the English. In 2016, a conference was held at the Tower of London in honor of the 950th anniversary of Hastings. 1066 in Perspective brings together papers presented at that conference in which contributors from a number of disciplines examine 1066 and the Battle of Hastings from a wide range of perspectives, including military, social, political, architectural, ecclesiastical, and more. |
