This was one of the most colossal moments in English history. On this, the 954th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, we look at the battle which ended a dynasty and began another.
This was no ordinary battle. It was a titanic struggle between elite units - Anglo-Saxon housecarls vs Norman cavalry. The Anglo-Saxons were exhausted after two forced marches and the battle at Stamford Bridge three weeks earlier. The Normans were in a foreign land with no safe place to retreat to.
Nearly a thousand years ago it would have been anyone's guess who would come out on top. Listen to our retelling of this famous story which changes the course of history. England and Europe would never be the same again.
