1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,999
This programme contains scenes
of violence.

2
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,519
Many long years ago,

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,519
a great tumult
came to the world of men.

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,199
Our Middle Earth was invaded
not once

5
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,719
but twice in the same year.

6
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,719
The first war took the weaponed men

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,079
far from their wife-men
and their homes...

8
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,279
SHOUTING

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:37,279
..to do battle against the Vikingr
up in the North.

10
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:43,119
Much blood was shed
before the English
brought down the mighty Norsemen.

11
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,439
But then, before the victory cup
could be tasted,

12
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,119
news came of a second enemy...
to the south.

13
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,119
Halt! Up with you!
We march again!

14
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,039
The Normans have come.

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,679
They've landed in Sussex.

16
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,719
Brave men of Sussex...

17
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,719
where were you when you
were needed so keenly?

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,999
Now you would have to run
the whole length of England

19
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,559
to fight a second war,

20
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,199
against the Normans,

21
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,439
and hold a hill near Hastings

22
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,439
from a duke who would be conqueror.

23
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,879
These terrible events
of the year 1066
were woven into a tapestry

24
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,039
fit for a king.

25
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,679
But these threads
speak only of conquest,

26
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,679
through the voice of a conqueror.

27
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,479
If you look more closely,
you can see the little people
of our shire

28
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,799
who fought against him
and his killing breed.

29
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,879
THEY SHOUT

30
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,359
Theirs is the story
of all Englishmen

31
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,199
who laid witness

32
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,199
to the darkest year of our times.

33
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,319
CHILD SCREAMS

34
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,119
Allez!

35
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:05,079
SCREAMING

36
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,799
THEY SPEAK FRENCH

37
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,559
WOMAN SCREAMS

38
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,679
MAN LAUGHS

39
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,679
BABY CRIES

40
00:06:00,840 --> 00:06:03,759
Where are the fighting men?
Where are the men?

41
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,759
In the north.

42
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,719
Why are the men north?

43
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,759
To fight the Vikingr.

44
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,999
All the weaponed-men
are in the north.

45
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,999
Merci.

46
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,359
SCREAMS

47
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:47,799
SCREAMING

48
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:05,279
This...is punishment for
the cheating ways of your King.

49
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,239
Of your huscarls...

50
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,839
and the men who deserted you...

51
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,839
They have gone to fight the Vikingr.

52
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,199
It is likely
they have gone for good.

53
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:34,199
SCREAMING

54
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,039
Do like my English, mon baron?

55
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,999
SCREAMING CONTINUES

56
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,199
SHE SCREAMS

57
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,719
Have sorrow for the wife-men
of Crowhurst.

58
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,639
But pity also their weaponed-men...

59
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,639
so far from fighting off the demons
who possessed their village

60
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,159
..and now so few.

61
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,239
The army of King Harold was
strung across the northern forests,

62
00:09:18,680 --> 00:09:22,679
many taking leave of breath
and falling from exhaustion.

63
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,239
So desperate for fighting men
were the English

64
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,839
that they admitted
into their war-band

65
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,119
any man willing to fight
for food or silver,

66
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,119
no matter their previous allegiance.

67
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,439
We won't get south in time.

68
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,439
I ordered rest.

69
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,239
More Vikingr will come.

70
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,359
We need more than those.
We need the winter to rest.

71
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,959
Where is your King?

72
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,959
I haven't heard
these past two nights.

73
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,599
I hope he rides for more men.

74
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,359
You hope?

75
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,839
Ordgar, we've rested.

76
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,439
We cannot run as we ran north!

77
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,599
The road is turned harsh.

78
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,239
We must gather our strength.

79
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,239
And stop pestering me.

80
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:35,719
What of Crowhurst?

81
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,719
Crowhurst
is a village of five families.

82
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,999
Engalond is a country.

83
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,959
At least let me go.

84
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,959
We shall not win this battle
by allowing the few men we have

85
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,959
to go searching after their kin.

86
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,959
I'm sorry.

87
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,639
Leofric. Please...

88
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,959
We'll march on!

89
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,119
Walk on!

90
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,079
Come on! Move on!

91
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,559
You can do it!

92
00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:35,839
Come on!

93
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,839
Come on! Come on...

94
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,359
Who was this enemy
laying waste to our south lands?

95
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,919
They had come from
across the whale-road,

96
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,799
from the dark shores of Normandy,

97
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,799
and gave us such night fears
they were known to us as orcs.

98
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,919
Deep in their forests,

99
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,919
this dark curse had been
many months in its casting.

100
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,319
A blessed crusade
in the name of the Pope.

101
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,799
The bastard Duke William
believed himself to be
the rightful king of England,

102
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,599
promised thus
by our noble Harold himself,

103
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,599
sworn over holy bones,
so the Normans say.

104
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,959
When Harold
took the crown for himself,

105
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:57,959
William commanded
his shaven-headed knights
to bring their horses to the sea.

106
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,519
Few had ever sailed before.

107
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,199
Most could not swim.

108
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,199
Horses and men
would make bad seafellows.

109
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,919
HORSES WHINNYING

110
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:57,239
The wailing winds that have always
defended this isle of Middle Earth

111
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:03,119
gave rough passage
to the orca fleet.

112
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:06,519
If only those winds

113
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,079
had sent more ships
to the bottom of the whale-road,

114
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,079
where they belonged.

115
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,919
But God, for reasons only He knows,
chose to spare them.

116
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,879
One by one, the orc-ish vessels
came over the horizon.

117
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,839
The pestilence had landed...

118
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,839
..scattered all along the undefended
cliffs and dunes

119
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,879
of our blessed England.

120
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,519
And now you know what was to become
of our little village of Crowhurst,

121
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:57,519
perched on the road from the sea
to Hastings.

122
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,039
FLIES BUZZING

123
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,039
What is this?

124
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,359
Normen.

125
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,359
FLIES BUZZING

126
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,839
This is a message to your King,
Ordgar.

127
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:17,119
I want this bodyshell of a wife-man
seen by every weapon-man here.

128
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,719
This is what we must fight!

129
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,519
You go south, boy.

130
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:27,679
You go south
and see to your village.

131
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,039
No.

132
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,799
This is cunning.

133
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,799
They have sent these wife-men here
to anger you into battle

134
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,319
ahead of time.

135
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,839
Go south.

136
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,279
Take this horse with you.

137
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,559
Leofric, remember you are a huscarl.
Go with him.

138
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,599
Go!

139
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,599
If you find Crowhurst,
and if any yet still live,

140
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,999
take the wife-men to the priory.

141
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,719
The Normen must respect
the walls of solitude.

142
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,319
And find whichever men you can.

143
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,239
Tell them we come in great number,
but we need more. Go.

144
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,159
I do not know which way Crowhurst
lies.
We will find it.

145
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:16,079
Take the road that brings the fish.

146
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,759
The one that rises up
and falls down again
before you smell the salt.

147
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,759
You will know your village
by the smell of ash.

148
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,199
The cruel orcs had sent
a message to all weaponed-men.

149
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:47,679
What were our brave warriors to do
but fly in rage towards
their homestead?

150
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,799
Little caring that the Normans lay,
like wolves, in wait for their prey.

151
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,199
Come on, come.

152
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,679
Just leave it.

153
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,039
Come on, come on.

154
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,879
Tofi!

155
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:12,879
Tofi, just... Come on!

156
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:03,599
This was once my father.

157
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,359
Judith.

158
00:20:09,360 --> 00:20:11,839
Judith!

159
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,839
Judith!

160
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,679
I have sorrow for you.

161
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,159
How many days since
I was handfasted?

162
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,319
Three weeks? I don't know.

163
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,159
Our lives are gone.

164
00:21:45,360 --> 00:21:49,359
Our lives are gone!

165
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:53,359
They do this?

166
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,479
They do such things as this
in the name of the Christ?

167
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,839
Bastards...

168
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:03,319
Bastards.

169
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:04,919
Bast...

170
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,239
Bastard orca!

171
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,639
Bastard!

172
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,679
RUSTLING

173
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,679
Who's there?

174
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,439
I am armed.

175
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,599
I am a weapon-man
of this shire.

176
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,599
Show yourself.

177
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,959
I said, show yourself.

178
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,799
Oh, child.

179
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,799
Child... Merciful Lord.

180
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:32,799
Child, what didst thou hear?

181
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,799
Where are the wife-men?

182
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,359
Child, listen, I know you.

183
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:43,359
Your name is Aelf.

184
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:47,039
You were born ten days after
the swallows flew back.

185
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:48,359
I know you.

186
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,639
I am your friend.

187
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,119
Tell me what happened here.

188
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:58,679
What did you see?

189
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:02,679
The warrior sea-king has come west
to fill England's graveyards.

190
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,039
Black birds of carrion follow.

191
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:09,599
Death comes.

192
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,879
You are safe.

193
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,879
Now you are safe, keep warm.

194
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,599
I promise you...

195
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,599
no sword shall harm you.

196
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:30,439
No Normen will come for you.

197
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,439
I am a huscarl of this village
and I swear...

198
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,439
..I will keep fear from you.

199
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,759
I swear.

200
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,319
I have not even anger. >

201
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:48,319
If I had anger, my soul would have
strength of purpose.

202
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:51,959
I have no anger. >

203
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:55,159
Oh, I have anger.

204
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,159
I have enough anger
for the two of us.

205
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,599
They took the wife-men.

206
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,599
They took the w...
The wife-men live?

207
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,559
Where? Where did they go?
Do you remember?

208
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,559
The forest road.

209
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:29,359
Now, just one day's march away,

210
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,839
the stragglers
that formed King Harold's army

211
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,759
were gathering numbers every hour.

212
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,319
THUNDER RUMBLES

213
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:41,559
Spirits, they say,
were strengthening.

214
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,559
More weaponed-men were promised
every day, from Kent, from Anglia.

215
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,679
The sooner these orcs were found,

216
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,679
the sooner they could be driven back
into the whale-road
whence they came.

217
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:01,079
And so scouting parties were
summoned to track the vermin down.

218
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:11,519
Ha! Good morning.

219
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,639
We're moving on.

220
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,479
Bring the wife-man. She has
proven herself fit and well built.

221
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,839
Yes, she has.

222
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,359
We must find the Normen
under cover of dark.

223
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:26,359
And what do we do
when they are found?

224
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,479
Kill them while they sleep.

225
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,479
It is not honourable
to kill them while they sleep.

226
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:37,679
We should cut them
while they sleep...

227
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,799
so with their last blink of the eye,
as you hold them by the hair...

228
00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:45,519
slice off their balls

229
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,519
and feed them to the pigs.

230
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,319
Feed he to the pigs,
dirty Vikingr bastard.

231
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:59,359
I'll feed he to the pigs.

232
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,839
BIRDSONG

233
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,799
There are men here.

234
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:18,839
What?

235
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,759
What?
There are men here. I know this.

236
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,759
Hush! Lead-man.

237
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,719
(Ordgar,
there are men in the trees.)

238
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:34,719
(The Normen have many sentries.)

239
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,919
Their sentries
are posted in trees, are they?

240
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,159
Hiding their nuts like squirrels.

241
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,159
WHOOSHING

242
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,159

GROANING

246
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,719
Another one and I shall have you.

247
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,399
(Ordgar) Vikingr, move!

248
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:34,919
WHOOSHING

249
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:38,799
(Ordgar) Are there more?

250
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,159
That we shall find out
from this one.

251
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,159
GROANING

252
00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,519
GASPING

253
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,999
Tell. Speak.

254
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,959
MAN REPLIES QUIETLY

255
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,599
SLICING

256
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,599
There are greater of them
than there were of the Vikingr.

257
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,999
He says they are building.

258
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,999
He says they mean to stay.

259
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:29,679
SHOUTING

260
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,359
Two weeks after landing in England,

261
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:38,359
the Norman orcs had pulled back
from their village-burning

262
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:43,079
and were now fortifying a peninsula
of our beloved Sussex.

263
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:53,239
Duke William had sent out orders
to destroy the rest of their ships

264
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:57,239
so they could not return
to their homeland.

265
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,239
They meant to stay, indeed.

266
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:13,959
And they meant to breed.

267
00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,319
And they would destroy
every creature of English birth

268
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,519
who would not accept them
as overlords.

269
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,759
I have heard...

270
00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:52,959
that far from here,

271
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:56,079
way over to the west,

272
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,919
there is a place without equal.

273
00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:03,919
Rightly renowned.

274
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,759
Few men reach this remote corner
of Middle Earth,

275
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,279
but the land there is so lovely,

276
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,159
endowed with delights.

277
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:17,159
Shhh! Shh.

278
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,999
QUIET SOBBING

279
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,279
She is too young!

280
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,399
PRISONER GASPING

281
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,679
English bitch.

282
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,639
Who else wants to spit on me?

283
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,679
I do.

284
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,679
Husband! Husband!

285
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,799
GASPING

00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:44,319

Husband, please! >

290
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,239
Judith...

291
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,559
Please...

292
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,839
Please, please...

293
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,079
Please.

294
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,719
(Leofric) Wife-men, listen.

295
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:00,919
SHE SOBS

296
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,919
(Leofric) Wife-men! Wife-men,
listen!

297
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,119
We take thee to the priory,
to the brothers of solitude.

298
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,479
You will be safe there.

299
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,439
I give you my word.

300
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,879
WOMAN SHOUTS

301
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:19,759
Is she of your kin?

302
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,639
(Judith) She is a wife of a Norman
who sat by and watched it.

303
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,119
Please, kill her!

304
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,999
Ozouf!

305
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,599
Kill her!

306
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:35,599
Ozouf!

307
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:41,319
(Leofric) Run! Let's go!

308
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,159
Run! Run!

309
00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,159
Run!

310
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,079
Let's split up!

311
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:54,079
Children, come on!
Children, over the river, go, go!

312
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:58,439
Come on! Come on!

313
00:33:58,800 --> 00:34:01,079
Forgive me, I must save the child.
Go!

314
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,079
That way, go!

315
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:08,159
(Man) No!

316
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:12,159
I told you, we should not have
kept the women alive.

317
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,039
It was a good plan.
It kept the men from mutiny.

318
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,279
It was against orders.

319
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,879
(Woman) Oh, no!

320
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,839
WOMAN SCREAMING

321
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,119
Your lust for blood makes me sick.

322
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,239
Agh!

323
00:34:25,240 --> 00:34:27,799
WOMAN SCREAMS

324
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,799
SILENCE

325
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:43,199
Come on, come on!

326
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:54,719
WOMAN SCREAMS

327
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:56,999
Out! Come on!

328
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,799
I know they're going to kill me.

329
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:02,679
No! They will not kill you.
While I breathe, they will not.

330
00:35:02,680 --> 00:35:06,679
Now, come on, run!

331
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:11,759
(Leofric) Come on, run!

332
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,919
Aelf! Aelf!

333
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,039
Wait, wait.

334
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:18,719
Aelf!

335
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:20,039
Now!

336
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:21,639
AELF SCREAMS

337
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,679
(Leofric) Wait.

338
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:27,119
He's but a child.

339
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:31,119
A child.

340
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,599
Take me. Not the child.

341
00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:38,599
PANTING

342
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,319
Go. Go!

343
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,039
I have ached for you in my heart

344
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,439
in the empty night,

345
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,839
and in the fear.

346
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:26,839
I have ached for you.

347
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,239
Silver and gold may make us bold

348
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:40,359
And bind our jewels together

349
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,119
But love will stay until we are old

350
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:48,119
And weary of endeavour.

351
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,359
What was done?

352
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:06,359
Judith?

353
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,439
I...

354
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,439
I... I can't...

355
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:31,159
MAN GASPING AND GRUNTING

356
00:37:43,720 --> 00:37:47,039
We must find Duke William
and the rest of our army.

357
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,199
They will be south of here.

358
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,719
There will be battle at last.

359
00:37:51,720 --> 00:37:53,319
Good.

360
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,319
I doubt you have the guts for it,
mon baron.

361
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,319
You let a huscarl go, and a child.

362
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,279
You disobeyed.

363
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:11,279
Your child will pay
the price of your disobedience....

364
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,679
As Drogo did...

365
00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,679
for his father's.

366
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,519
Although the invaders were
our cruellest enemies,

367
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,519
it should be known that not all of
themwere cast in the same mould.

368
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,439
But then the orca were
never only of one tribe.

369
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:42,359
SHOUTING

370
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:46,079
The Normans had pressed
men of Brittany and other neighbours

371
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,519
into their holy war,

372
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,519
offering promises of land...
and taking families hostage.

373
00:38:53,240 --> 00:38:57,239
MAN SHOUTING

374
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,919
WOMEN SOBBING

375
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,639
I will call for you, my love.

376
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,799
There will be great forests in
Englandto run through,

377
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:12,759
and great rivers to fish.

378
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,599
Your mama will cry,

379
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,599
but you must dry her tears for her.

380
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,239
Chevalier d'Ozouf!

381
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:28,879
You will see to it she is fed
and served

382
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:32,279
as befits a Breton noblewoman.
Duke William would wish it.

383
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,999
My Breton friend,

384
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,999
I do not take kindly to instruction.

385
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:09,959
(Leofric) Sister of solitude,

386
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:12,879
I bring this child to join
the sisters and the wife-men.

387
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,519
Will you keep this child
in your care?

388
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,199
I am sorry. We have too many here.

389
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,719
Sister, this is a child.

390
00:40:20,720 --> 00:40:23,439
We have too many here already.
I am sorry.

391
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:27,439
I am a huscarl of the Royal Guard.
Now open this door!

392
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:31,159
We do not open our doors
to instructions from soldiers.

393
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:35,159
That's why you brought
your wife-men here.

394
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:39,599
You are right.

395
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,599
Accept my apologies.
We will leave you in peace.

396
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:50,119
Wait! >

397
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:02,759
Come.

398
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,719
(Sister) Many of these women are
noble.

399
00:41:07,720 --> 00:41:09,319
Good women of the town.

400
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,279
Good wives...and daughters.

401
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,999
COUGHING

402
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,999
They have been arriving here
every hour and every day
for the last seven night.

403
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:22,199
We have seen things here

404
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,199
that we have never dreamt of seeing.

405
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:30,639
Men may do such things
as women would never dream of.

406
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,479
What can be done?

407
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:38,359
We soothe them as we can.

408
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,359
Many will not take meat,
and choose to die of hunger.

409
00:41:43,720 --> 00:41:47,719
Many no longer speak.

410
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:05,559
Glad I am to see you.

411
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:09,559
Sshh!

412
00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:25,719
INDISTINCT CHATTERING

413
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,359
WHISTLES LOUDLY

414
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:40,759
(What do you see?)

415
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:44,759
(Sentinels.)

416
00:43:20,280 --> 00:43:21,319
CRUNCH!

417
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,319
MAN GASPS

418
00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,959
SLICING

419
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:39,959
IN NORMAN:

420
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:51,039
Debout.

421
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,879
LAUGHTER

422
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:01,639
Chevalier.

423
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:02,799
Chevalier!

424
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,799
THEY SPEAK

425
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,839
KNOCKING

426
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:34,839
Anglais?

427
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,639
SHOUTING

428
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:43,079
Retreat!

429
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:47,079
I will not retreat from these
Christ men! I will not retreat!

430
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:04,519
SHOUTING

431
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:13,999
NOISE OF FIGHTING CONTINUES

432
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,999
(Leofric) They say they
are surrounding us.

433
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,599
If we don't go now, we'll be
trapped.

434
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,599
Retreat!

435
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,439
They're coming up.
They've got it surrounded.

436
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,479
FOOTSTEPS APPROACH

437
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:59,879
Sss! Wake up.

438
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,759
I met a party of men from Anglia
on the road.

439
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:07,519
We go to the hill at Hastings.
Come. Your wife-man will be safe.

440
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,559
No. I have done my war work.

441
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,559
Look, you mind the days
beyond the battle, new husband,

442
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,959
when you must tell your kin
that you sat in a high tower

443
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:18,359
and watched England burn.

444
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:20,639
I will stay with my wife-man!

445
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,319
Go with him.

446
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:23,479
No.

447
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,079
The battle will be swift.

448
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,079
We will rebuild our house.

449
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,319
Don't be long.

450
00:46:44,120 --> 00:46:48,119


451
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,159


452
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,999


453
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,399


454
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,519


455
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,639


456
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:26,639

O's deepest oceans

457
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:32,079

by death has separated

458
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:39,199

hidden

459
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:45,279

laid this shire to waste

460
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:51,319

looked desolate

461
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:57,399

ruins

462
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,279

asks himself...

463
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,679
So, the English have the hill.

464
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:17,919
ENGLISH SOLDIERS SHOUTING

465
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:20,959
We have God.

466
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:24,839


467
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,799
Thus, the battle lines
had been ordered.

468
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,799
The Normans massed below the hill
upon which the English stood proud.

469
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,679


470
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:39,679
And behind that hill called
Senlac ...

471
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,039
lay the Norman prize...

472
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,679


473
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:48,679
..the green and bounteous
fields of England.

474
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:03,319
SOLDIERS CHANTING

475
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,399
I swear before this company that...

476
00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:18,199
(All) ..I will fight to the death
for my King.

477
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:21,839
If my King or my lord shall die,

478
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:25,839
I shall take his place and fight
as he would have fought.

479
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:31,439
If any men here see me
taken with weak-heart, and run away,

480
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:37,319
he shall remind me of this pledge
made here before my kin.

481
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:43,599
Archers, draw!

482
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:48,479
Loose arrows!

483
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:53,279
Shields above!

484
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,159
Archers, draw.

485
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:11,159
Loose arrows!

486
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:26,559
The third almighty battle clash
of 1066 had begun.

487
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,079
The hail of arrows upon the shield
wall failed to shatter its strength,

488
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:38,079
or draw the English down
from the hill.

489
00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,119
Now it was time for the weapon
most feted

490
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:45,119
and most feared
in the Norman armoury.

491
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,759
The one brought at such cost
across the whale-road.

492
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,639
Cavalry...forward!

493
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,639
SHOUTING

494
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,999
They are coming.

495
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:32,439
SHOUTING AND SCREAMING

496
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:43,279
HORSES WHINNYING

497
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:38,879
Do they intend
just to bore us to death?

498
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:45,279
Why do they stand on the hill?
Why do they not fight?!

499
00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:47,919
ENGLISH SOLDIERS CHANTING

500
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:49,919
We need a champion.

501
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:52,039
The duke will wish a challenger

502
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:56,039
to draw out the English
in single combat.

503
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,959
Such a gesture of commitment
will bring you rich reward.

504
00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:05,199
Not me, mon baron.

505
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:09,199
Our champion must be a man
of noble birth.

506
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:26,999
Why?

507
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:34,839
Make sure the duke knows who I was,

508
00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,839
and who are my kin in France.

509
00:53:53,600 --> 00:53:57,599
MEN GROANING

510
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,559
Un Anglais.

511
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,559
Un Anglais de nobilite!

512
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,759
A man of rank, he said.

513
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,959
That'd be me.

514
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,679
(All)Ordgar! Ordgar! Ordgar!

515
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:22,239
Ordgar! Ordgar! Ordgar!

516
00:54:22,240 --> 00:54:26,239
ENGLISH SOLDIERS CONTINUE CHANTING

517
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,999
BARON PANTING

518
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,999
BARON ROARING

519
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,879
INAUDIBLE

520
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:49,239
CHANTING

521
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,439
Tu dois me laisser gagner.

522
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,159
Eh?

523
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,119
You must let me win, English.

524
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,119
Speak slower.

525
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:16,279
Or let me appear valiant.

526
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:20,279
My family will live...

527
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:22,919
..even if my soul will not.

528
00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:25,039
BARON ROARING

529
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:29,039
Agh!

530
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:07,399
Normandie!

531
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:14,639
SHOUTING

532
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:23,439
It was an unexplained
yet noble sacrifice

533
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:29,399
the Norman victor
would make that morning.

534
00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:33,679
Perhaps both men of rank
shared a common goal.

535
00:57:36,080 --> 00:57:39,159
Both, in different ways,

536
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:43,159
had died so that others could live.

537
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,639
Ordgar...you were
the bravest of your shire.

538
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:05,479
Every Englishman
who shared your oath
vowed to avenge your untimely death.

539
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,719
Let the Norman orcs come,

540
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:12,479
as surely they would.

541
00:58:12,480 --> 00:58:16,479
On horse, on foot...en masse.

542
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,039
SHOUTING

543
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:33,119
Wave after wave of Norman assault
still could not take our hill.

544
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,879
The duke who would be conqueror,

545
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:49,879
they say was somewhere
in the thickest of the fighting.

546
00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:53,559
And then,
such is the confusion of battle,

547
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,559
a rumour spread amongst
the groans of the dying.

548
01:00:04,800 --> 01:00:08,519
Their duke is dead.
He's slain. Pass it on!

549
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,639
Their lead-man is dead. Pass it on.

550
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:14,639
Their duke is dead!

551
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:26,479
Oh, how sweet the taste of victory
must have been.

552
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,839
How bitter for the Norman invaders.

553
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:32,759
Let's send them into the sea!
For Ordgar!

554
01:00:32,760 --> 01:00:33,999
No!

555
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,399
Come! They flee!

556
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:36,679
Do not break the wall!

557
01:00:36,680 --> 01:00:38,439
The battle is done!

558
01:00:38,440 --> 01:00:42,439
Do not trust the Normans.
Do not break that wall!

559
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:46,639
Their duke is dead! He's dead.

560
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:17,079
What had seemed like a retreat

561
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:19,519
revealed itself to be a trick

562
01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:23,519
to lure the English
from the safety of the hill.

563
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:27,439
Duke William was not dead,

564
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,879
and for the first time that day,

565
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:34,879
the Norman horsemen could
harness their deadly advantage.

566
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:45,279
SILENCE

567
01:01:56,320 --> 01:02:00,319
So many brave Englishmen
met their doom below the hill,

568
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:07,079
none more beloved
than the cowardly farmer
who became a huscarl

569
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:14,479
and saved my life.

570
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:20,959
A Norman trick had taken
too many from us,

571
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,439
leaving few weaponed-men
to stand alone
against the treacherous tide.

572
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,359
SOLDIERS CHANTING

573
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,479
So, finally,

574
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:52,479
the tale of the little people
at the fateful Battle of Hastings

575
01:02:53,200 --> 01:02:57,199
brings us to the plight of the King
himself.

576
01:02:57,240 --> 01:03:00,439
Harold now knew
that his army was weakened,

577
01:03:00,440 --> 01:03:04,439
and that every fighting man
would be required to hold the hill.

578
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:13,919
That would include
two of his brothers,

579
01:03:13,920 --> 01:03:16,679
his son,

580
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:20,679
and perhaps even his lover,
Edith Swan-Neck.

581
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,519
The Norman orcs kept coming,

582
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,519
little waves bent on
probing the wall for weakness.

583
01:03:49,320 --> 01:03:52,759
Stay behind this shield.
Listen to me!

584
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,639
Stay behind this shield.

585
01:03:56,640 --> 01:04:00,639
Watch him.
I want no more charges.

586
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:36,279
Hour upon hour, the Normans threw
themselves upon the shield wall

587
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:40,999
in what now became
a battle of endurance.

588
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:46,279
But they kept on coming.

589
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:50,279
They kept seeking new approaches
to the hill,

590
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:54,319
determined to bombard the English
from all sides...

591
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,879
..and then, most decisively...

592
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:00,159
Crossbows!

593
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:01,359
Positions.

594
01:05:01,360 --> 01:05:04,999
..from above and below
in the same volley.

595
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:08,839
Archers...draw!

596
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,839
Loose!

597
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:19,279
Loose!

598
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,279
ARROWS WHOOSHING

599
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:27,639
Draw!

600
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:31,639
Loose!

601
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:34,559
Crossbow...

602
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:35,719
Loose!

603
01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:38,439
How in detail it came to pass

604
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,759
that the Normans prevailed
on that day at Hastings

605
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,759
will for ever be shrouded
in blood-mist.

606
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:52,279
But what is clear is that these orcs
were truly demons, with no fear

607
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:58,919
and no pity.

608
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:15,239
Agh!

609
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:17,279
Sleep.

610
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,399
ARROWS RAINING DOWN

611
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:24,399
Dream of your land, your home
and your woman.

612
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:30,039
Your fighting is done.

613
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,599
What is known for sure

614
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,079
is that, by dusk, the invaders

615
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:46,079
finally broke the shield wall
for good and poured through.

616
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,959
And after defeating
the mighty Vikingr

617
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,239
and running the length
of our country,

618
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:57,439
not once but twice,

619
01:06:57,440 --> 01:07:01,439
the exhausted farmers of England
stood little chance.

620
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,719
The fate of our warrior King
remains unclear to this day.

621
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,719
Some gaze upon the conqueror's
famed cloth of Bayeux

622
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,719
and see him slain
by an arrow to the eye.

623
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:33,239
"Harold the King is killed,"
it says.

624
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:37,959
But others say that
he is this bloodied figure,

625
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,959
lain low by a horseman.

626
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:49,919
That four Norman knights,

627
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:52,279
crazed with bloodlust,

628
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,559
beset the body of the kingship,

629
01:07:55,560 --> 01:07:58,719
disembowelled him...

630
01:07:58,720 --> 01:08:01,639
..gelded him...

631
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:05,639
..and then beheaded him.

The bastard orca

644
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,519
left 5,000 Englishmen
unburied upon Senlac Hill

645
01:10:56,120 --> 01:11:00,119
for ten long years.

646
01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:11,759
And within a lifetime,

647
01:11:11,760 --> 01:11:15,759
not a single hide of Sussex
had an English owner.

648
01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:25,599
There is some pleasant land
up where we came ashore.

649
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:27,879
Good fields.

650
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:29,599
Good rivers.

651
01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:33,599
We can settle there.

652
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:35,679
How many sons do we have?

653
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:39,679
Six.

654
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:44,079
We will have land for another five.

655
01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:50,679
Woman!

656
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:58,559
Harold alone
was permitted a burial.

657
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:01,359
And, so the tribute goes,

658
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:05,359
you rest here,
Harold that was a King,

659
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:09,599
that you still may
guard the shore and sea.

660
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:14,159
We do not despise you, kingship...

661
01:12:14,440 --> 01:12:18,439
..but we grieve and mourn for you.

662
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:36,359


663
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,279
England was never the same again.

664
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:44,159


665
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:48,159
The priories could not
remain a refuge for ever,

666
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:52,319
and after more unkindnesses
too cruel to be related,

667
01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:55,439
the wife-men of the south were set

668
01:12:55,440 --> 01:12:57,919
to making the story
that would be told...

669
01:12:57,920 --> 01:13:00,359


670
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,359
..thus shining great light
upon the duke who became William,

671
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:10,199
the conqueror of our precious piece
of Middle Earth.

672
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:14,479

O's deepest oceans

673
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:21,119

by death has separated

674
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,879


675
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,879
Now I've reached the end
of the bitter song of my child days.

676
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,719

laid this shire to waste...

677
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:35,319
Our village of Crowhurst

678
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,759
became the home of others
who meant to stay.

679
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:42,359

stood desolate

680
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:46,359

these noble ruins...

681
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:51,759
Our families would never again
bring in the barley.

682
01:13:51,760 --> 01:13:55,039

asks himself...

683
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:57,679
We set to wandering...

684
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:01,159
in search of a new home.

685
01:14:01,160 --> 01:14:04,599
And it had once been told to me,

686
01:14:04,600 --> 01:14:08,439
to soothe my child-fear, perhaps,

687
01:14:08,440 --> 01:14:11,359
that away to the west

688
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,999
is a place rightly renowned,

689
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:18,759
a remote part of Middle Earth,

690
01:14:18,760 --> 01:14:22,159
where the land is so lovely...

691
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:25,399
..endowed with delights,

692
01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,319
and Earth's sweetest scents.

693
01:14:27,320 --> 01:14:31,319

as if it had not been...
