This evocative reconstruction drawing by Jason Askew, titled "Battle Abbey, East Sussex. Battle of Hastings 1066," transports us back to a pivotal moment in English history. The Norman Conqueror, William the Conqueror, stands victorious on a hill overlooking the battlefield, his horse rearing and pawing the ground. The Saxon soldiers, their shields raised in defense, charge forward, their weapons at the ready. The tension in the air is palpable as the two armies clash in the Battle of Hastings, fought on October 14, 1066. The intricate details of the armor and weapons worn by the soldiers are expertly rendered, showcasing the meticulous research and skill of the artist.
