The historian Chris Riley, is back on the podcast, to talk about all things 1066: The Norman Conquest.

In this, the first of the four episodes in this mini series, we talk about the pre-cursors of the famous year and why is it so significant in retrospect. Why was England such a prize? Who wanted the throne of England?
