1066: The Year That Changed Everything

The Great Courses

Professor Jennifer Paxton Ph.D.

The Catholic University of America

 

I like this one, material covered areas of European history I was not very familiar with. Specifically the Norman conquest throughout history, England and Normandy before the conquest of England, the succession crisis in England as well as the near incestuous nature of maintaining royal bloods in positions of power, the battle of Hastings, William the conqueror conquest of England and the aftermath. Well structured content.

 

Highs include; the history of the Normans and integration into the English race, in other words an integrated race of English and French (This integration strategy was also employed by Genghis Khan); William the conquerors youth and development; politics of the 11 century. Low points; none; would read again.
