[[File: Hastings One.jpg|300px|thumbthumbnail|left|alt textThe Bayeaux Tapestry of the Battle of Hastings]]
The Battle of Hastings (1066) is perhaps the most famous in Medieval Britain, if not Europe. This bloody day changed British history and had a profound impact on the development of the modern world. It led not only to a change of dynasty in England but also indirectly to the development of the English language, law, and political institutions, which have had an immense impact far beyond the British Isles.
