Brief History of Britain 1066 - 1485 Vincent Nicholas
From the Battle of Hastings to the Battle of Bosworth Field, Nicholas Vincent tells the story of how Britain was born.When William, Duke of Normandy, killed King Harold and seized the throne of England, England's language, culture, politics and law were transformed.
