Taking you from the shores of Scandinavia and France to the battlefields of the English countryside, these lectures will plunge you into a world of fierce Viking warriors, powerful noble families, politically charged marriages, tense succession crises, epic military invasions, and much more. Your journey starts in the 10th and early 11th centuries, when power in England and Normandy was very much up for grabs - and when the small island nation was under continuous assault from Viking forces. Professor Paxton helps you gain a solid grasp of the complex political alliances and shifting relationships between figures such as Emma of Normandy, Cnut, and Edward the Confessor. She also recounts for you the two seminal battles that pitted England against the Scandinavians and the Normans: the Battle of Stamford Bridge and the Battle of Hastings. Throughout the lectures, Dr. Paxton opens your eyes to continued debates and controversies over this year and offers her own take on the Norman Conquest's enduring legacy and the fascinating results of this epic clash. By exploring the year 1066, what led up to it, what happened during that fateful year, and what changed as a result - you'll gain a sharper perspective and a greater understanding of everything that would come afterward. 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 84800 KB). 650 0 Hastings, Battle of, England, 1066.|vSound recordings. 651 0 Great Britain|xHistory|yMedieval period, 1066-1485. 655 7 Electronic audiobooks.|2local 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.overdrive.com/media/3070746 |zAvailable on OverDrive/Libby 856 42 |3Excerpt|uhttps://samples.overdrive.com/?crid=a24d56e7- 2471-453f-a1ac-e5d0f7e6b0f6&.epub-sample.overdrive.com |zSample 856 42 |3Image|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/7061-1/ %7BA24D56E7-2471-453F-A1AC-E5D0F7E6B0F6%7DImg100.jpg |zLarge cover Image 856 42 |3Thumbnail|uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-200/7061-1/ %7BA24D56E7-2471-453F-A1AC-E5D0F7E6B0F6%7DImg200.jpg |zThumbnail cover Image
