Really not all that huge a battle in terms of the forces deployed. But resounding in its implications. From that point forward, British history took a radically different course, blending the best of Norman organization with sheer Anglo-Saxon yeomanry. The result is one of the most intriguing, puzzling, confounding cultures to ever populate the earth.

The battle was atypical in that it lasted for an entire day. Most battles at this time were decided in the first hour or two.

Now taken over by the PC police and muzzies.

I feel sorry for those who stayed.

I'm proud that my ancestors had the good sense to leave France in 1066; and even more so to come to America a few hundred years later!!
