BBC Radio 4 is hosting a 'Norman Day ' (Why not a King Harold II day?) because the British Museum is hosting the Bayeux Tapestry for a few months… can’t get to see it? Why not read the book instead?
I wrote Harold the King 27 or so years ago, originally intending to be unbiased regarding who won. I gave that idea up when writing the first scene involving Duke William. Can’t stand him. King Harold II should be made our official English Hero - and don’t go believing all the rubbish that he was a weak, ineffective King. He wasn’t. (And he was not killed by an arrow in the eye.) Oh and if you were OK to waste your time watching that recent TV drama King and Conqueror - you did waste your time, it was not just poorly acted and scripted but was 100% inaccurate. Read the book to find out what might have really caused the series of events that led to a battlefield seven miles from the coast at Hastings…

I’ll not be near a radio asI'll be away - I hope they stand up for Harold! But if you can’t access BBC Radio - try these articles which I posted here some while ago.
Why did Harold II, King of England, stand the fyrd down in August 1066? (Thus allowing William to march in unopposed in late September).
The Event That Started The Beginning Of The End - 5th/6th January 1066
The Death of Edward The Confessor
OR … what about a collection of ‘what if?’stories?
