A highly illustrated, gripping account of William's victory, which ensured his accession to the English throne.

A highly illustrated, gripping account of William's victory, which ensured his accession to the English throne.

Fought on 14th October between Duke William of Normandy and Harold Godwinson, king of England, the Battle of Hastings irrevocably changed the course of English history.

Hastings was also decisive in another way: the horrendous casualties suffered by the English nobility both there and at the two earlier battles of Fulford and Stamford Bridge resulted in there being very few men influential enough to lead an English resistance once William had been crowned. William would survive long enough to successfully found a Norman dynasty of English kings.

Christopher Gravett describes the battle with a step-by-step analysis, alongside detailed maps, birds-eye-views and full-colour battlescene artwork.
