The Hidden Network Behind 1066 and the Norman Conquest
6 August @ 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm
What was Rye’s secret part in the Norman Conquest after 1066? Local author & historian David Dennis explains all in the next History Hour lecture, 1066: Rye, Rameslie, Fecamp and the Hidden Network Behind the Norman Conquest.
Why did a Queen of England give away Hastings and Rye to a monastery in Normandy? How easy was it for monks to spy on the Saxon defences before the Battle of Hastings? David promises to revolutionise your understanding of how the Normans conquered England.
