For educational purposes<br/><br/> live and by God's help will conquer yet! William the conqueror, William the Conqueror¹s invasion of England. <br/><br/>The great battle fought near the English seaside town of Hastings on 14 October 1066, was perhaps the most significant in England¹s history. <br/><br/>The great victory won that day by Duke William of Normandy over Harold II of England was to shape forever the destiny of a nation. <br/><br/>For at the end of a day of furious battle, the sun set not only on the dead and wounded who littered Senlac Hill, but also on the entire Anglo-Saxon way of life. <br/><br/>The Battle of Hastings features atmospheric original reconstruction and re-enactment footage, plus dramatised eye-witness accounts. <br/><br/>The very latest 3D computer mapping techniques combine with delightful images from the remarkable Bayeux <br/><br/>Tapestry to tell the dramatic story of a battle which remains one of the most famous in military history. Narrated by Michael Leighton. <br/><br/>Featuring expert comment and analysis by Dr David Chandler, the world's foremost military historian and former head of War Studies at Sandhurst.
