Harold had the high ground. The Normans shot him in the eye. It was a bad day for Harold and the Englishman.Saturday, May 20, 2017
And all that...
Today we had spectacular weather. We headed south towards Hastings, to a town called Battle. 950 years ago, on October 14, 1066, William the Bastard fought King Harold for the right to be called the King of England. It was a winner-take-all grudge match. Willie won. He changed his name to William the Conquerer. The Anglo-Saxon empire came to a screeching halt. And the rest is history.
