On October 14th, 1066, a battle was fought which changed the course of English history and marks a turning point in the history of Europe. The Battle of Hastings, or Senlac to the English, marked the end of Anglo-Saxon England.
"1066 AD - In this year ... William the earl landed at Hastings, on St. Michael's-day: and Harold came from the north, and fought against him before all his army had come up: and there he fell, and his two brothers, Gyrth and Leofwine; and William subdued this land."
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
With those brief words the Chronicle describes the closely fought and hard-won battle that changed the course of English history and marked the end of Anglo-Saxon England. The Battle and the events surrounding it remains a subject of fascination and great passion to this day and this thread is for all aspects of its tactics, equipment, armies and politics.
