Hastings, 1066: Norman Cavalry and Saxon Infantry

October 14th 1066: Guillaume, Duke of Normandy lands in Sussex, crushes King Harold and the Saxon Army and claims the crown of England. This new book reconstructs in detail this great medieval military operation: precise accounts follow the action step-by-step from the initial landing in Pevensey Bay until final success on the field at Battle. The book is illustrated in colour throughout with the appropriate sequences from the Bayeux Tapestry, as well as location photographs from the historic sites today, archaeological documents from the 11th century. All of this allows the reader to understand fully and accurately the course of the military operation and weaponry used in 1066.
