I just love the white cliffs so beautiful.

I am a Chivers and we hailed from Normandy. We are on the battle honors of the Norman invasion in 1066. We settled in Ireland till Cromwell times, then fled to Virginia. This is history that's so real to me. Glad I come from a culture that kept records, and glad for a family that obsessively kept their generalogy alive.

It's so nice seeing well produced battle documentaries. Not to throw shade at the YouTube map ones, but these are much more immersive and rarely on television anymore.
-
I envy those countries who still have their records of their history even from the most ancient times, this records reminds them who they really are and keeps their identity

Why has there never been a major big budget movie or TV series that focuses on 1066 and the Battle of Hastings? I'm amazed that NETFLIX or BBC have ever attempted it? The story of King Harold, The Viking invasion, Stamford Bridge and William's invasion, the Hastings battle and the aftermath would make for a fantastic long running mini series- it could run for years as they follow the English/Scottish/Welsh & Irish history.

I think I have "Dan Snow PTSD". When he speaks, all I can hear is "My name is Dan Snow, and I want to tell you about History Hit TV..." ;)
-
I find this period most interesting. We are taught "English Kings" but actually, all Danes fighting over England, Normans were settled Vikings, The "viking invasion" Battle of Stamford Bridge was led by Tostig .... Harold's brother!
-
Never ceased to amaze me such interesting ways of English history lessons...many thanks....from Bucharest...
-
My ancestors were part of that invasion. I have been to the 13th-Century graves of Demaines at Bolton Abbey in Yorkshire. French last names with English first names. Like me.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen the change in coastline explained. Thank you for that.
-
My wife and I trace back to both: Harold and William. 1,000 later and love blossoms.
-
It's actually weird to think when i look at Durham Cathedral everyday as it's my home town that the French built it.
-
One absolutely loves the history you share. Well done and thank you.
-
Love Dan's enthusiasm!
-
Thanks so much for this appealing docu. As a moderator in the Viking Museum of HAITHABU I'm very much interested in this matter. Besides...same year of 1066 Haithabu was burned and not rebuilt. Hello from the peninsula of ANGELN and from the UNESCO Workd Heritage Haithabu and Danewerk.

I can't describe why, but I love every single bit of this david carpenter history professor
-
One of my distant ancestors was at this battle. In fact the King spoke to him saying "If you don't stop mucking about with that bow and arrow, you'll have someone's eye out"
-
