My army stands abreast in a long line, several men deep. The shield wall will not be breached! #Battle1066

Keep your spears braced! Even a warhorse cannot be encouraged to run into a sharp point! #Battle1066

.@King_Harold66 is dead, his brothers by his side. The housecarls fight to the last man – this day is lost #BattleofHastings #Battle1066

1066 - Battle of Hastings: Harold Rex Interfectus Est Harold the King was killed

Neither candidate is perfect, but you have to choose a side (don't blame me I voted Hardrada) #hastings1066

A spiders web over the footbridge!
