1066: The King Who Lost England – The Real Story of Harold Godwinson

In 1066, England changed forever. Harold Godwinson – the last Anglo-Saxon King – faced two invasions in a single year, defeated the Vikings in the north, and then raced south to meet William of Normandy at Hastings. Legend says Harold was killed by an arrow through the eye. But was he? Or is that simply the story written by the victors? In this video, storyteller and medieval bowman Kevin Hicks explores the life, rise, and questionable death of Harold Godwinson. #HaroldGodwinson #AngloSaxon #BattleofHastings #1066 If you'd like to support the channel further on PATREON, and help us continue making fun, fascinating videos, visit our PATREON page   / thehistorysquad   OTHER LINKS: https://buymeacoffee.com/thehistorysquad Facebook:   / historysquad   Twitter:   / history_hicks
