- On this day in 1066 one of the most famous battles in all of Britain\s history took place.""It was the last successful invasion of the island
- It is believed the English king, Harold, was killed on the battlefield with an arrow through his eye.""Here\s how the victors spun the tale
- If donning armour, shining your sword and drawing you bow sounds like a blast then maybe you should join in with this merry bunch.""There are plenty more battles for you to sink your teeth into
- So despite the name, the battle that took place in 1066 didn\t even happen in Hastings.""See how far they had to travel to the (now appropriately named) site
