The death of Harold at the Battle of Hastings, 1066, (1944). Creator: Unknown.

The death of Harold at the Battle of Hastings, 1066, (1944). The Latin reads: 'Harold Rex Interfectus Est' - King Harold is killed. English forces led by King Harold II fought the invading Normans under William I. It has been suggested that the 'arrow in the eye' account of Harold's death was deliberately invented by the Normans as an attempt to legitimise William's siezure of the English crown, by portraying Harold as having been 'struck down' by God as punishment for his breaking of his oath to William. Detail from the Bayeux Tapestry, the famous embroidery made a few years after the Norman invasion of England in 1066. From "Battlefields in Britain', by C. V. Wedgwood. [Collins, London, 1944].

Título:
The death of Harold at the Battle of Hastings, 1066, (1944). Creator: Unknown.
Descripción:
Traducción automática: La muerte de Harold en la batalla de Hastings, 1066, (1944). El latín dice: 'Harold Rex Interfectus Est' - El rey Harold es asesinado. Las fuerzas inglesas lideradas por el rey Harold II lucharon contra los invasores normandos bajo el mando de Guillermo I. Se ha sugerido que el relato de la muerte de Harold, "la flecha en el ojo", fue inventado deliberadamente por los normandos como un intento de legitimar la toma de la corona inglesa por parte de Guillermo, mediante retratando a Harold como si hubiera sido "derribado" por Dios como castigo por haber roto su juramento a William. Detalle del tapiz de Bayeux, el famoso bordado realizado unos años después de la invasión normanda de Inglaterra en 1066. De "Battlefields in Britain", de CV Wedgwood. [Collins, Londres, 1944]
