1066 Battle of Hastings Abbey and Battlefield

Battle Abbey


We visited the grounds of the most famous and important battle in English history. It was kind of cool to think that on October 14, 1066 thousands of men were slaughtered on the very land we walked on. It was the last successful military invasion of England where the King was killed. The battle transformed the country forever. I touched the stone that marks the place where King Harold fell in battle. The fighting with shields and swords that took place on this battlefield reminded me of the fighting that took place in The Book of Mormon.
