The Norman Conquest ( 1066)

England suffered many invasions: the Romans, the Vikings, the Anglosaxons...The last one was in 1066. It took place in Hastings, the place where some of you are going with me in April.
I have looked for some videos to show you some History about this country.

The video talks about the new Norman king, William the Conqueror, who built the Tower of London (near the famous London Bridge).
If we happen to visit it, you must know the Tower was a prison where Henry VIII's second wife was beheaded (under his order) among others. It also keeps the Crown Jewels.

You can see the Beefeaters outside...legend has it that they were called like that because they were given "beef" to eat.
Watch the video about the battle and the other one about the town...Bye!
