  1. Cavalry charge at the Battle of Hastings (Pat Nicolle)

  2. This is the best video I've ever seen about the 1066 Battle of Hastings! Granted, it's also the only video I've ever seen about the Battle of Hastings, but still... :)

    Turns out, they also have more than 2.5 hours worth of Lord of the Rings lore in what seems to be the same presentation style, which I have to check out next.

  3. It was the anniversary of the Battle of Hastings (1066) on the 14th October. If you're curious, in my opinion the best book to read to really get a feeling for what happened is The Wake, by Paul Kingsnorth. It's written in "shadow tongue" olde Englishe, so a bit like reading ancient Nadsat, but you soon get used to it and become immersed in a time when the Normans came to destroy England.

  4. Check out the new trailer for 👑 King & Conqueror . A new BBC series covering the violent year 1066 and the impending Norman Invasion.

    Premieres on 24 August on BBC One. And possibly on Paramount+ for the rest of the world.🤞

  9. Little-known fact: Pooh and his friends fought at the Battle of Hastings. (Well, Piglet surrendered immediately, but the rest did some damage.)
