{"product_id":"9780140058505","title":"1066 The Year of the Conquest","description":"The year 1066 is one of the most important dates in the history of the Western world: the year William the Conqueror defeated the English at the Battle of Hastings and changed England and the English forever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe events leading to-and following-this turning point in history are shrouded in mystery. Distorted by the biased accounts written by a subjugated people, many believe it was the English who ultimately won the battle, since the Normans became assimilated into the English way of life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on a wealth of contemporary sources, David Howarth gives us memorable portraits of the kings: Edward the Confessor, Harold of England, William of Normandy, as well as the leading political figures of the time. Howarth describes the English commoners: how they worked, fought, died, and how they perceived the overthrow of their world from their isolated shires.","brand":"Outliers Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53012714422583,"sku":null,"price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/3633\/0295\/files\/23472823482237.jpg?v=1789850538","url":"https:\/\/outliersbooks.shop\/products\/9780140058505","provider":"Outliers Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
