Meer over het boek
It's an important date in western history: 1066, the year William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings, changing England & the English forever. Yet the events leading to & following this turning point are shrouded in mystery & distorted by biased accounts, & many believe the English ultimately won, since the Normans became assimilated into English ways of life. Drawing on contemporary sources, David Armine Howarth portrays the leading characters & their motivations. At the same time he shows the year's events from the viewpoint of commoners, showing how they lived, worked, fought, died & perceived the overthrow of their world.
