1066 Turned Upside Down
1066 is the most known year in English history, and the most intriguing. It represents a key turning point; a year in which everything was up for grabs, a year of 'what ifs'...
What if King Edward's great-nephew, Edgar, had been chosen as king? What if Harald Hardrada had won the Battle of Stamford Bridge? What if Harold had defeated the Normans at sea? What if William had died when he was unhorsed at Hastings? So much could have been different, and now we can explore some of those 'what ifs' in this exciting collection of 'virtual history' short stories, written by known and loved writers of the period. The collection includes historical notes of what really did happen alongside the fictional re-interpretations.
