Author: Peter Rex - The underground war
against the Normans. This book reinforces the view that the
English are not easily overcome. A great and easily readable English history book. The aftermath to the Battle of Hastings was violent and
ruthless. William of Normandy's achievements can be seen as
a formidable combination of both clear-minded political imagination
and merciless, hard-nosed execution. However, after William's
victory in 1066, the English were not a people who would simply
roll over and allow the invaders free access to their homeland.
A tough and equally brutal resistance was fought against Norman
rule for many years to come.
