Why the Battle Is Called Hastings

After five years we come to our final 'everything you wanted to know about' episodes. We revisit our first episode where Marc Morris, author of an acclaimed history of the Norman Conquest, tackles some of the big questions about William the Conqueror and his followers.

Our brand new multipart specials begin next Sunday starting with a look at the Gunpowder Plot.
