1066: A Year to Conquer England

The death of Edward the Confessor triggers a bitter race to succeed him as king of England, with Earl Harold taking the crown. However, William of Normandy believes the throne is his.

After King Harold's brother Tostig attacks the south coast, another enemy strikes when a vast Viking force lands in the north. Harold rushes to fight for his kingdom - and his life.

After months trapped in a port in France, the winds change and Duke William leads his invasion fleet across the Channel - but King Harold is 300 miles away, having defeated the Vikings.
