The Battle of Hastings, fought on October 14, 1066, was the most famous defeats of the medieval period. William, Duke of Normandy, defeated King Harold II of England, killing him and ending the Anglo-Saxon way of life.

These are oldies but goodies! It's nice to see the likes of the late Dr David Chandler giving his insight and opinions - a boyhood favourite and true Military History expert!And the great Brian Blessed narrates the second part!

Come on Harold without a Handlebar moustache just won't do. On the Bayeux tapestry the English have all got ruddy great handlebar moustaches like Asterix.

During the first world war, it was proposed to use English longbows to rain death on the enemy trenches with archery. But this idea was quickly dropped, as it would be impossible to train the troops in sufficiently large numbers to be of any use on the battlefield in a timely manner.
