Thy Day ENGLAND Wasn’t SAVED… It Was Taken | The ARROW That KILLED a King

Описание: In 1066, England didn’t just fight a battle. It changed hands.

On a cold October day near Hastings, three men claimed the same crown — and only one would walk away with it. When King Harold fell, struck down in the chaos of shield walls and cavalry charges, it wasn’t just the end of a reign. It was the end of an England that had existed for centuries.

We’re often told this was “the battle that saved England.” But saved from what? And at what cost?

This episode explores the real story behind the Norman Conquest — the ambition of William of Normandy, the brutal campaign of Harald Hardrada, the exhaustion of Harold Godwinson, and the single arrow that altered the course of English history. From the field at Hastings to the castles that rose across the countryside… from the Harrying of the North to the Domesday survey… the consequences of this day reshaped law, language, power, and identity.

1066 wasn’t just a victory.
It was a transformation.
