The Battle of Hastings

We went to a city on the Southern coast of England called Hastings. On October 14th 1066, William the Conqueror of Normandy conducted the only successful invasion of England recorded in history. This is the most important date in English history. We went to Hastings to witness the reenactment of that battle on the same plot of land where it occurred. This was a great outing in that we felt we were walking in mid-evil times and places. Cars were kept at a distance and all of the tents, dress, food and music were from the mid-evil period. We had a lot of fun watching the battle. The kids also got to wear armor and shoot bows etc.
