You will never, EVER forget the date of the Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings after watching this. Ever. That is a REAL sword, btw.  Another teacher we know actually fights people with it.  With armor on.  From 2009.

Back in 1066
Edward the Confessor – he had no kids
The English throne became a huge conflict
Till Harold took it – the Earl of Wessex

Tapestry…
Its length in meters measures 70
Embroidered linen tells the story
The feats of William, Duke of Normandy

(spoken) Battle of Hastings

NORMAN INVASION
(spoken) 1066

The Normans would fight back
William the Conqueror led the attack
King Harold died in battle, that’s a fact
The loyal barons signed a feudal pact

(spoken) Battle of Hastings

Tapestry…
It’s length in meters measures 70
Embroidered linen tells the story
The feats of William, Duke of Normandy

NORMAN INVASION

That year on Christmas Day
William was coronated – he would reign
Twenty-one years, playing the feudal game
He made a tax record book called “Domesday”
