"The Battle of Hastings, fought on 14 October 1066... saw William the Conqueror defeat King Harold and seize the English throne." "[Professor] Licence's work disputes a claim that Harold forced his men to march more than 200 miles from Stamford Bridge in Yorkshire to Hastings to defend the country." "He [Licence] said they arrived at Hastings with a large, active fleet." I don't believe this for a minute! Harold had no such naval capacity. #LateAngloSaxon https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce3gdxgw44eo
