Been a bit lax in updating the site due to life and stuff over the last couple of months, but Dan will be on BBC4 tonight at 10pm with his “Dan Snow’s Norman Walks”.
From Radiotimes.com:
Sussex – The Invasion Walk
New series. Dan Snow begins his exploration on foot through the remains of Norman Britain on the Sussex coastline, where William the Conqueror first set foot on British soil in the run-up to the Battle of Hastings. The historian traces the period of time from the landings to the armed confrontation itself, speculating about what both armies did during those two weeks, and tries to separate myth from fact concerning one of the most famous dates of British history. Part of the Normans season.
