The Battle of Hastings is a unique collection of materials focused on one of the most significant battles in European history. Stephen Morillo, in his own important piece, first sets the scene, describing the political situation in western Europe in the mid-eleventh century, and the events of1066. It includes all the primary sources for the battle, including pictorial, and seminal accounts ofthe battle by the major historians of the last two centuries.
An important companion to the sources and interpretations is the set of original maps of the major stages of the battle, from first contact in the early morning of 14 October 1066 to final pursuit in the late evening darkness. He then introduces the sources, reviewing the perspective of their medieval authors, and traces the history of writing about the battle.
