Battle of Hastings - 949th anniversary


Today is the 949th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings, which was 're-enacted' at Battle last weekend, yet again, as it has been since 1932 (Guardian). Handy they found somewhere called "Battle" to have the battle, and where William (the Bastard; sorry, not being rude, but that was what he used to be called all those years ago, being 'illegitimate') built an abbey as penance for the slain folk...

My 300th blog, by the way, cheers!
