Historian Dr Erin Goeres re-examines the events that led to the Norman Conquest, bringing together the perspectives of England, Normandy and Scandinavia. The story begins on 5 January 1066, with the death of Edward the Confessor. His death creates a succession crisis, and his brother-in-law Harold II takes the English throne. But Harold faces two formidable rivals: Haraldr Sigurðarson (Harald Hardrada), King of Norway, and William, Duke of Normandy, who also claims the English crown.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book focuses particularly on the extraordinary nineteen days between the Battle of Stamford Bridge and the Battle of Hastings. During this brief period, Harold's army has to move rapidly from defeating the Norwegian invasion in the north to confronting William's Norman invasion in the south. The resulting battles would lead to the deaths of two kings and bring an end to Anglo-Scandinavian rule in England.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erin Goeres","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46158915829820,"sku":"9780241754887","price":7995.0,"currency_code":"PKR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/7706\/7836\/files\/9780241754887.jpg?v=1789385313","url":"https:\/\/libertybooksstore.myshopify.com\/products\/nineteen-days-in-autumn","provider":"LibertyBooksStore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
