Introduction

Join Greg Jenner for a fun homeschool history lesson on The Battle of Hastings.

Examine the events and all the key players in the lead up to 1066 - Harold, William, Tostig and even the Viking Hulk! Also discover why it’s never a good idea to be a bit of a show off in front of the British troops just before a big battle.
