Description
While everyone knows the date 1066, not everyone is aware of the complex political issues behind the Norman Conquest. Higham sketches the turbulent background to Harold's brief reign and the unsatisfactory resolution to Edward the Confessor's childlessness, and shows how England, the Vikings and the Normans were to continue to struggle until 1087.
