It conquered me

Pleasant, well-paced, great notes on each potentially disputed interpretation, a good bibliography. It takes the listener from well before the conquest through to well after.

Complex historical events made understandable

A concise recording of complex events. England has a more complicated history than I was aware. Lots of info in a small package. Well done.

A good place to start studying

The audible was a great insight into English history because it presented the educational, administrative, financial, social and various more impacts of the Norman Invasion.

It's all in the history

Laboriously uses primary sources, but rather than growing in the way, this makes human beings appear much more real and intimate.

Good Historical Account

An excellent entry point to the period.
To be listed by those who are interested in history ostensibly too remote to bear influence upon contemporary events.
