Event Description
As the old king, Edward the Confessor, lay dying in January 1066, the vultures were circling.
Powerful English nobles, a teenage prince from the ancient line of Alfred The Great, William of Normandy, and two Viking warriors all had their eyes on the throne of England.

You’ve heard that William became The Conqueror whilst Harold got an arrow in his eye.
But that is only half the story.
It could have all been so different…

Will my camera be on and will I be visible to the other people?
Your camera and microphone does not need to be on for you to enjoy the event. The choice about whether to do this is completely yours.
How do I watch the live event?
