The book opens in the tiny village of Horstede, England (called Little Horsted today). As with any contemporary sources of history, biases emerge that attempt to hold one side in high esteem above the other, so the author and the reader must wade through these evidences to come to their own conclusions of the truth. In the book 1066: The Year of the Conquest, David Howarth draws on a host of contemporary accounts to understand exactly what happened to turn England upside down. At the beginning of the year, the land was at peace, and by the end, everything had changed.
The year 1066 is one of the most pivotal years in the history of England.
