Vous avez sans doute vu passer l'info ce week-end dans les journaux : tout ce qu'on croyait savoir sur la bataille d'Hastings (1066) est faux, deux siècles d'historiographie sont bons pour la poubelle :

Sans surprise, c'est plus compliqué que ça. Cette nouvelle interprétation n'est pas aussi révolutionnaire qu'elle en a l'air et repose sur une lecture alternative d'un (1) mot dans une source primaire. Les journalistes gagneraient à réfléchir avant de reprendre sans sourciller des communiqués de presse qui n'ont reçu aucune validation par la communauté scientifique.

A historian is challenging the theory that the Anglo-saxons marched from Stamford Bridge to fight in the Battle of Hastings. He has been re-examining Anglo-Saxon Chronicles as well as 11th century sources. He states that the idea of marching from the north to meet William was a Victorian idea. Instead he says that Harold used England's naval assets to make the journey south. It comes as the Bayeux Tapestry is about to go on display in the UK.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ce3gdxgw44eo

In #Maastricht Museum. The text calls this an Anglo-Saxon sword. But the audio speaks of a Viking sword. This is not the same, is it? Who knows more? #Anglo-Saxons #Vikings
