IT TELLS THE STORY OF
a clash that defined the future of a country, and a
continent, for a thousand years, the roots of which stretch back
decades
and extend out through a pair of
interconnected family dynasties,
struggling for power across two countries and a raging sea. Harold of
Wessex and William of Normandy were two men
destined to meet at the Battle of Hastings
in 1066; two allies with no design on the British throne, who found
themselves forced by circumstance and personal obsession into a war for
possession of its crown.

It is 26C here today as well as we have finally had a rainy night after a day that was over 40C. It should be around 30C this week.
