A history of the third forgotten battle of 1066, the
battlefield of which until now remained undiscovered.
Three weeks and three days before the epic clash at Hastings in 1066 between Harold II and William of Normandy,a battle of the same size and scale took place just south of York at Fulford.Harald Hardrada, king of Norway,in alliance with Tostig,Harold II's brother,invaded with 300 ships,sailing up the Ouse just south of York.Edwin and Morcar,Harold's brothers-in-law and earls of Mercia and Northumbria, gave battle at Fulford.This site has been forgotten, and largely undisturbed, for almost a thousand years.
Charles Jones's book investigates the complex events
that forced King Harold II of England to defend his new kingdom from the invasions he expected in the north and the south.Charles Jones helped set up and has led the Lottery-funded Fulford Battlefield Society.With help from leading archaeologists, the society has spent five years investigating the location of the battle.He is now working to preserve the the battlesite from encroaching housing development.
