Summary
The events of 1066 are perhaps the most famous in English history, and their consequences for the British Isles and for Europe as a whole were profound. In this book, the author provides the most accessible, challenging and up to date introduction to the subject available. It contains a strong blend of political, economic, social and cultural history; excellent chronology of key dates and a guide to further reading, and engages with recent historiographical debates for added relevance.
