King Harold Godwinson vs. William the Conqueror: Great Royal Rivalries in History

1066, a date which lives in infamy in many a school child’s history test. For in that year England saw 4 Kings, and two bitter enemies battle for the throne. The ultimate victor would change the course history. The new series King and Conqueror dramatizes this pivotal rivalry with all the guts and Glory of Game of Thrones, sans the dragons and Ice zombies, and with surprisingly little incest. But what really went down in 1066? Who were Questionable King Harold Godwinson and Hell-bent invader William of Normandy? Let’s find out! Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
