- Synopsis:
Dan Snow takes on one of the most famous dates in British history when, 950 years ago, William of Normandy, soon to be Conquerer, defeated Harold, King of England, at the Battle of Hastings. But 1066 is more than just one battle on one day. It is the dramatic story of a single year when the ancient world of the Anglo-Saxons is swept aside and the dominance of the Vikings is brought to a shuddering halt. It's the year when the power balance of Europe is upturned and Britain's future determined. Dan reveals a bitter tale of family betrayal and political intrigue as England reels in the wake of three rival kings, three separate invasions and three major battles, in the course of just one year. With the Norman victory, in comes a new era of medieval knights, mighty castles, towering cathedrals and linguistic richness - all part of a world that remains familiar in Britain today. - Actors:

Not just a history lesson - 1066: A Year to Conquer England review by DJ
If only school lessons had been this good. With a mixture of, facts interestingly delivered by Dan Snow and various experts, translations from historical texts, all brought to life with brilliantly reenacted scenes, this is a very entertaining dvd.
Even though you know the eventual outcome, it's worth watching.
