I hear that our king King Harold has killed Hardrada and is now celebrating in York. But what of the Normans? #Battle1066

Those Norman bandits! Men have been slaughtered with scythe in hand. Women and children have been burnt alive in their homes! #Battle1066

.Norman Chronicler told us the Normans were forbidden from pillaging the land in Normandy – that is not the case in England! #Battle1066

This is DELIBRIATE destruction of the land Norman Chronicler! You have invaded, set fire and turned prosperous homes into waste! #Battle1066

My king King Harold. The Normans are ravaging your land and putting your people to sword! #Battle1066

I can’t remain on my farm fearing the Normans any longer – I wish to do my part in the fyrd #Battle1066

I know the area the Normans hold well King Harold and I can advise on the best place for the fyrd to make a stand #Battle1066

The king wishes to leave for the south immediately. The fyrd is over 5,000 men strong #Battle1066

I shan’t miss London. It warms my heart to be heading back home – despite the fact violence waits for me #Battle1066

I will use an iron-headed spear – the poorer man’s weapon. I was a young man the last time I held a weapon… #Battle1066

Now the sun is up, I can see clearly where we are. A single grey apple tree stands proud. This is Senlac Hill. #Battle1066

Has William of Normandy really bought the remains of a saint into battle with him? His invasion is not the act of a pious leader! #Battle1066

The shield I procured is not of the best design – I fear I will succumb to the first wave of arrows #Battle1066

The arrows seem to blot out the sun – are we to fight in the shade? #Battle1066

My spear broke on the shield of a Breton! All I can do is throw stones and javelins! #Battle1066

I’ve grown up surrounded by animals – but I’ve never seen a destrier up-close! #Battle1066

I’m only still alive because of the difficult terrain – the cavalry were not as effective as they can be! #Battle1066

I am still alive and still fighting! We even chased the Bretons from the hilltop! #Battle1066

The Normans flee again! Let’s give chase – let’s cut them down! #BattleofHastings #Battle1066

What have I done? I will flee to the safety of the woo– #BattleofHastings #Battle1066
