{"product_id":"1066-the-year-of-the-conquest-9780140058505","title":"1066: The Year of the Conquest","description":"The year 1066 is one of the most important dates in the history of the Western world: the year William the Conqueror defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings and changed England and the English forever. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe events leading to-and following-this turning point in history are shrouded in mystery. Distorted by the biased accounts written by a subjugated people, many believe it was the English who ultimately won the battle, since the Normans became assimilated into the English way of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a wealth of contemporary sources, David Howarth gives us memorable portraits of the kings: Edward the Confessor, Harold of England, William of Normandy, as well as the leading political figures of the time. Howarth describes the English commoners: how they worked, fought, died, and how they perceived the overthrow of their world from their isolated shires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140058505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.40d","brand":"David Howarth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44589852164277,"sku":"9780140058505","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0d892ea9-6a19-4d44-a480-97ca88f18d77.jpg?v=1724733712","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/1066-the-year-of-the-conquest-9780140058505","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
