The Norman Conquest - Dr Marc Morris

Bestselling historian and author, Dr Marc Morris, presents in the 12th Century Undercroft of Moyse’s Hall Musuem.

1066 is the most famous date in English history...

Everyone remembers the story, depicted on the Bayeux Tapestry, of William the Conqueror's successful invasion, and the unfortunate King Harold being felled by an arrow in the eye. But why do we remember 1066 above all other dates, and why do the events of that year matter so much?

Morris is a Sunday Times bestselling author and considered one of our great experts of the Middle Ages. He presented the acclaimed TV series 'Castle' for Channel 4 and wrote the accompanying book. He also contributes to publications such as History Today, BBC History Magazine and Heritage Today.
