1066 : The Year of the Conquest David Howarth | |
|
History
Paperback, 207 pages |
" Howarth writes for the average person; anyone will be able to get a mountain of lucid information out of this book. It is an enjoyable work which spends a good deal of time with the events leading upto the Conquest. Although it is not particularly short, one won't notice that he's reading a history text, but will feel more like he's reading an exciting Grisham novel. " | |

1066 and All That W.C. Sellar, R.J. Yeatman |
|
|
History, Humour
Paperback, 128 pages |
"This book is hilariously funny and is also a serious critique of British historiography in the 1930s and before. All students of history should read it; partly because it deflates many nonsensical approaches to history, partly because it admirably illustrates many of the common errors history students fall into, but mostly because it is still the funniest book on British history available.

Hardcover, 278 pages |
"A worthy opponent to William the Conqueror I must admit it. I knew next to nothing about this man, and this book opened my eyes to what was truly a remarkable and effective leader. Definitly worth reading to get the 'other side' of William the Conqueror's story. " | |

| Anglo-Saxon England and the Norman Conquest H.R. Loyn |

Non-Fiction, History
Paperback, 456 pages |
This book gives an account of the social and economic developments in Anglo-Saxon England from the first settlements in the fifth and sixth centuries to the immediate aftermath of the Norman conquest. The basic structure of analysis rests on the surviving legal and literary evidence, buttressed by the latest findings of archaeologists, numismatists, and art historians. In nearly 30 years since the first edition there has been great advance in knowledge, notably on the numismatic side, but the main themes remain constant. | |
