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.)
