How to order this book

Everyone knows the date 1066, but what actually happened, and why? What were the consequences, and how did it change the course of history? Nick Higham sketches the turbulent background to the brief reign of Harold, the last Anglo-Saxon king, and the unsatisfactory resolution to Edward the Confessor’s childlessness, and shows that after William the Conqueror took control, the Vikings and Normans continued to struggle for control of England right up to William’s death in 1087.

Contents: An improbable king; England, the Vikings & the Normans; Edward the Confessor; An heir to King Edward; 1066; Conquest consolidated; Revolt & its suppression in the north; Troubled kingship; William, Domesday & the Danes 1985-7; Conquest in retrospect.
