EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative reconstruction drawing, titled "Battle Abbey, East Sussex. Battle of Hastings 1066," by renowned illustrator Ivan Lapper, transports us back to a pivotal moment in English history. The image captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Hastings as Norman and Saxon soldiers clash on the battlefield. The Norman soldiers, led by Duke William I of Normandy, are depicted in full armor, their shields emblazoned with distinctive crosses and other symbols. Their longswords and lances are raised, ready to strike. The Saxon soldiers, loyal to King Harold Godwinson, are shown in traditional clothing and armed with shields and spears. The battlefield is a scene of carnage, with fallen soldiers and discarded weapons scattered around. The Battle of Hastings, fought on October 14, 1066, marked the end of Saxon rule in England and the beginning of the Norman Conquest. King Harold was killed during the battle, and Duke William was crowned King of England a few days later. This event had far-reaching consequences for the country, shaping its language, culture, and political structure for centuries to come. The intricate details in this illustration, held by Historic England Photo Library, offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to visualize the battle that changed the course of English history.
