14th October, 1066. Battle of Hastings. Probably the most famous date in English history.

Quote:

To mark the Battle of Hastings’ 940th anniversary, 3,000 top re-enactors and performers from across the world will gather on the original battlefield to accurately replay the thrilling sights and sounds of the battle. Never before has English Heritage re-created the battle on this scale: William and Harold will face each other on the field of battle supported by one hundred mounted troops and fiercesome foot soldiers as they clash swords for the crown of England.

Every schoolboy remembers the year - the day being modified by the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in (England) 1752.

If as a school student you did not know it you would have earned the wrath of history teacher even in India. Grin

I've been banned for constantly ignoring the forum rules, spamming, being abusive to mods and making false accusations against them. They've modified this profile to show everyone what happens to obnoxious foul-mouthed little idiots!
