Yet the events leading to-and following-this turning point in history are shrouded in mystery and distorted by the biased accounts written by a subjugated people, and many believe it was the English who ultimately won, since the Normans became assimilated into the English way of life. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary sources, David Howarth gives us memorable portraits of the leading characters and their motivations. At the same time he enables us to see the events of that year from the viewpoint of common Englishmen, and along the way we learn how they lived, worked, fought, and died-and how they perceived from their isolated shires the overthrow of their world. 756570 1977 1066: The Year of the Conquest total:200|5:51|4:85|3:54|2:9|1:1| 200 776 312 29 5 0 false false Thu Sep 10 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 08:48:46 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 10 09:12:45 -0700 2009
