About this listen
Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.
During the year 1066, England had three different kings and fought three huge battles in defence of the realm, including the bloody Battle of Hastings. The result was the Norman Conquest which defined England during the Middle Ages.
1066 in an Hour will guide you through the politics and personalities of the Norman invasion. It will help you understand why William the Conqueror was victorious and introduce you to the new king and subsequent ancestor to the Plantagenets and Tudors.

In a Hour you could learn anything you may be asked about this year.
Events Learned:
5th January: King Edward the Confessor dies, without children.
6th January: Harold Godwinson becomes King of England.
And that was only the start, but instead of going to the shops and getting a book that may take you the rest of the day to read, just get this book, turn the sound up and sit down with a cup of tea in the comfort of your own home, and in a hour time you will know 1066 like the back of your hand.
I recommend this book to everyone who is interested in history and conquest.
