You will never, EVER forget the date of the Norman invasion and the Battle of Hastings after watching this. Ever. That is a REAL sword, btw. Another teacher we know actually fights people with it. With armor on.

4. Everytone remembers the Battle of Hastings but no one ever
talks about the Battle of Stamford Bridge where Harald Hardrada gained his 6 feet of good English earth.
