Episode 7 - After Hastings

King Harold wanted nothing more than a peaceful reign, but was destined to spend his time on the throne preparing for war. He had been crowned under the threat of a foreign invasion and had to fend of a major Viking attack in his first summer as king. Now as 1066 drew to a close he got word of the long-awaited Norman landing. Join Lars Brownworth as he looks at the Battle of Hastings and its aftermath.

Fascinating podcasts on the Normans

I have read one of Mr Brownsworth’s books and seen him speaking on a series about Constantinople. His podcasts on the Normans, 1-7, are fascinating. His speaking is perfect, clear and expressive. I can’t wait to hear them all.
