  • Summary

    In the section on the Battle of Hastings of 1066, the first event in the Norman Conquest of Britain, an excerpt is given of the Latin text accompanying the embroidered pictures on the Bayeux tapestry. Then excerpts are given from the early twelfth-century accounts by William of Malmesbury of the Battle itself, and by Orderic Vitalis of the aftermath of the battle, in the following years of violence against the population in the rest of the country, including Northumbria and Cumbria.
