	Description:		As we prepare to recreate the events of the Battle of Hastings, we’re profiling the man who lost his kingdom on the same battlefield in 1066. A man who (if you believe a certain tapestry) was killed by an arrow to the eye, and who became the most famous of all Anglo-Saxon kings despite only ruling for nine months. Here to talk about the rise, reign and fall of Harold Godwinson is historian, author and expert on the middle ages, Dr Marc Morris. Plus, we’re joined by English Heritage Event Manager Diana Evans to find out what you can expect to see at this year’s re-enactment.
