"1066 was a tough year for the Anglo-Saxons: three kings, multiple invasions, a comet. Yes, the Dark Ages weren't everything they're cracked up to be, and this kid-friendly Web site is a fine online guide to that fateful year. ... There are also maps, a timeline, and a quiz. The pages deal with the complications of the succession crisis, battle weapons and tactics at Hastings, and the aftermath of the battle as the Normans established themselves as England's new rulers. The Norman Conquest's historical importance is not merely of a change of dynasty; rather, it marksthe beginning of the rise of England as a unified state and great power, as well as the birth of the English language as it's spoken today. Now your middle and high school pupils can learn more about this critical event."  (netsurfer)

"On 1st October 1066 King Harold was celebrating his victory over King Hardrada at a banquet in York when he heard that William, Duke of Normandy had landed at Pevensey Bay. King Harold immediately assembled those housecarls who had survived Stamford Bridge and marched south. When Harold realised he was unable to take William by surprise he positioned himself at Senlac Hill near Hastings. On 14th October 1066, Harold II's army fought on foot against the attacks of Norman cavalry and infantry. After a long struggle, lasting for most of the day, Harold was killed and the Normans were victorious. This online activity involves the students looking at the various accounts we have of the battle." (spartacus)

Thomas Becket - Henry II
"In a letter written by Thomas Becket in 1166 he argued: "There are two principles by which the world is ruled: the authority of priests and the royal power. The authority of priests is the greater because God will demand an accounting of them even in regard to kings." Henry II disagreed and their conflict led to the death of Becket in 1170. This collection of differentiated lessons looks at the conflict between two of the most interesting figures in British history. There is also a lesson commentary that allows the students to mark their own work." (spartacus)
