The Battle of Hastings: How William Conquered England | War History for Sleep

October 14, 1066: Harold Godwinson had just destroyed the greatest Viking invasion in history. He'd marched 190 miles in four days, crushed Harald Hardrada at Stamford Bridge, and saved England from Norse conquest. Three days later, William of Normandy landed with no way to retreat. What followed wasn't just a battle—it was the extinction of Anglo-Saxon England. 6,000 men died at Hastings. Tens of thousands more in the genocide that followed. An entire language pushed to the edge of death. A ruling class completely erased and replaced. This is the story of how one afternoon of arrows, axes, and cavalry charges killed a thousand-year-old kingdom and gave birth to a new England that would conquer the world. The Norman Conquest wasn't just about who wore the crown. It was about the systematic destruction of everything England had been—and the brutal forging of what it would become. #History #SleepStories #AncientHistory #MedievalBattles #HistoryForSleep #BedtimeStories
