Hastings Castle & 1066 Story! William the Conqueror, Normandy and England!
The ruins we can see today are the remains of a stone fortress (built after William of Normandy's coronation) which was practically impregnable from three sides. Less than half of the original structure remains.
During September 1066, William the Conqueror landed at Pevensey and ordered the construction of a prefabricated wooden castle. He then moved on to Hastings and erected another.
Hastings Castle was originally a wooden tower built on top of a man made mound or motte, which was surrounded by an outer courtyard or bailey. The bailey was enclosed by a wooden palisade. The Norman motte and bailey castle would become a common fixture across England following the conquest.
After the victory at the Battle of Hastings, William was crowned on Christmas Day 1066, and had issued orders that Hastings Castle was to be rebuilt in stone.
William left the castle in the charge of one of his top commanders Humphrey de Tilleul. Around 1069, he gave the castle and the town of Hastings to Robert, Count of Eu, who founded the Collegiate Church of St Mary in the Castle within the castle walls. The remains of this church are the best-preserved part of the ruins.
In 1094 William the Conqueror's son King William Rufus stayed at the castle and during the reign of Henry II much building work was carried out. However, in 1216 King John feared invasion from France and ordered the castle to be dismantled, rather than fall into French hands.
It was restored and rearmed by Henry III in 1225 and later dismantled in the reign of Edward II. In 1272 the Collegiate Church became the King's Free Chapel of Hastings and its Chapel of the Holy Cross became a place of pilgrimage.
The savage storms of the 13th century brought chaos to Hastings. The harbour was destroyed and large parts of the castle fell into the sea. The destruction of the harbour meant the port of Hastings had no further military importance, the town declined into a fishing village and the castle fell into decay.
Henry VIII finally dissolved St Mary in the Castle at the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century. In 1591 the ruins became the property of the Pelham family and for centuries the site was used for farming.
In 1824 the 6th Earl of Chichester, Thomas Pelham carried out a full excavation of the castle and during Victorian times it became a tourist attraction. During World War II, an anti-aircraft gun was placed alongside the castle and the steep cliffs were used as a training area for commandos. In 1951 the Pelham family sold the castle to the Hastings Corporation for £3,000.
In 1966 a plaque was unveiled commemorating the Battle of Hastings and on October 14 each year a replica of William's flag, the Gonfalon, is flown from the castle. A popular attraction at the castle today is The 1066 Story - a 16 minute sound and light presentation on the history of the castle and the battle.

Dramatic amateur footage has emerged of the moment when rough seas took their toll on a cliff-face in Hastings on Britain's southern shores.
After days of extremely wet and windy weather, the spectacular collapse of part of the East Sussex coast was captured on a mobile phone by local resident, Kevin Ice.
Many parts of Britain are braced for more storms and damage this weekend with severe weather alerts in place. Thousands of households remain flooded as a result of heavy downpours over the Christmas holidays.
Ireland too has been severely affected with the estimated cost of damage expected to run into millions of euros.

Epic Medieval Reenactment [1000+ Reenactors] -- Hastings 2012
The Norman and English armies clash on the slopes of Senlac Hill, with over 1,000 reenactors on the very ground that the historic Battle of Hastings was fought on almost a thousand years ago. Filmed at the annual reenactment in Battle, East Sussex. All musical credit to Howard Shore.
This year (2012) was considered a big one and so it had more reenactors present than usual. The battle is reenacted on the same ground that saw the actual Battle of Hastings in 1066AD. Embarrassingly, I forgot to bring an extra battery and memory card (how?), and because the second day of the event was cancelled due to soggy ground, I was unable to redeem myself and get footage of the final scenes of the battle. Nonetheless, I have put together as well a video as I can with my footage and I hope it satisfies. I have included music from The Lord of the Rings since I felt it somewhat befitting and also as an homage to a film series that inspired me to take up film-making. (As a side note, the castle-like structure you see in the background is Battle Abbey, founded by William the Conqueror in 1070AD. The remarkable preservation of the battlefield is probably owed to this establishment.)

For Honor: Historical Battles - The Conquest for England, Part 2: The Battle of Hastings
What is absolute truth? What does it mean to be in the right? What happens when one person’s truth is conflicted with another’s? After the Battle of Stamford Bridge, Harold Godwinson decided to celebrate his fortuitous victory in the town of York when merely a day later a messenger comes to give word about the arrival of William of Normandy. Without wasting another second, King Godwinson marched his troops back to London to acquire more men and weapons for his next battle. This one would definitely be the most important one of all. For when controversial thoughts and beliefs become “cold hard facts” to a person, they see themselves in the right, or, “the good guy”. William believed that Edward the Confessor had given him the throne, and when Godwinson was given the kingdom, of coarse William felt robbed of the most highest of positions, but was he in the right to start a war with the man who “took it”? Was Godwinson the “bad guy” in the end? Was he ever really the “good guy”? These are questions we must thoroughly ask ourselves when given these situations, and if unanswered, confusion and resentment may come from it.

The Battle of Hastings 1066 - A Game of Thrones
After the battle of Stamford Bridge , Harold Goodwinson's army is battered. One viking army is defeated, but one led by a man of the same blood threatens the kingdom.
William the Conqueror, also named Bastard has set sail from Normandy with a strong and modern army. His aim is the throne of England - one Harold won't give up without a fight. They meet at Hastings. What follows is an epic battle that inspired the creation of the Bayeux-tapestry and intrigue that lives on to this day.
