NORMAN CONQUEST

William of Normandy considered himself the rightful heir to Edward the Confessor, King of England. There was a problem, however, Harold Godwinson of England considered himself the heir as well. At the same time, Vikings to the east, who had taken advantage of such turmoil and uncertainty in the past to launch their own attacks, did so again. Join us as we meet William and Harold, both in the palace and on the battlefield. Listen as each plots his way to the throne. Stand guard as each rushes bravely into battle. Feel the joy of victory, and the despair of defeat. Find out how an embroidered cloth provides a front seat to this struggle for power. Yet, more importantly, learn how the Norman Conquest affected the Western World and, yes, even you!
