Did you know that our Sunday Times bestselling book,
The Rest Is History Returns, is now out in paperback?
From finding out who British history's biggest lad was to tracing the admittedly hazy ancient origins of Raiders of the Lost Ark,
it's filled cover to cover with more curious historical moments than you can crack a lasso at,
plus puzzles and a pub quiz.
The rest is History Returns, available now in all good bookshops.
Harold had fallen, as his valiant brothers had fallen before him.
The event too truly showed that England had fallen with the sons of Godwin,
that as ever in this age,
everything turned on the life of one man,
and that the one man who could have guarded and saved England was taken from her.
Such being the case, it is from that memorable day that we may fairly date the overthrow,
what we know to have been only the imperfect and temporary overthrow,
of our ancient and free Teutonic England.
In the eyes of men of the next generation.
