Description

In American schools, your history class will probably begin with the Battle of Bunker Hill. However, in British schools, history begins with the Battle of Hastings. In this episode of the Oh-My-Geekers podcast, we explore the events which led up to the dramatic clash between the Anglo-Saxons (Old English) and the people of Normandy. Pour yourself a cup of hot tea, and enjoy this short history lesson.
