New research from the University of East Anglia reveals that the commonly held belief of King Harold's 200-mile march to the Battle of Hastings in 1066 is inaccurate.
The study suggests that Harold's forces primarily traveled by sea, which has significant implications for our understanding of military logistics and troop movements during this period.
This reevaluation of historical events highlights the importance of maritime routes in strategic planning and operational execution in medieval warfare.
