In October 1066, an English king who had held the throne for less than a year marched his army the length of the country twice in three weeks to meet an invasion he could not afford to lose. He lost it. What happened at Hastings that day, and in the months either side of it, reshaped England's ruling class, language, and landscape for centuries.
This free poster lays out the whole sequence as a single, clear infographic: the disputed succession, the two invasions England faced in the same month, the battle itself, and what changed the moment William was crowned.
What the poster covers
A scannable, print-ready visual timeline of the Norman Conquest, built to be accurate enough to reference and clear enough to read at a glance:
- The succession crisis of 1066: Edward the Confessor's death and the three men who claimed a right to his throne
- Harold Godwinson's coronation and the rival claims of William of Normandy and Harald Hardrada
- The Battle of Stamford Bridge and the forced march south
- The Battle of Hastings: the key phases, the terrain, and the moment the battle turned
- William's coronation and the first steps of Norman rule in England
