"King Harold's 200-mile march to the Battle of Hastings was a 'myth', historian says

Rather than enduring a legendary 200-mile (320-kilometre) overland march to confront the invading William the Conqueror at the famous Battle of Hastings in 1066, King Harold Godwinson's forces likely launched a 'sophisticated land-sea operation' that ultimately failed to stop the Norman conquest of England, a British historian has found."
