Battle of Hastings 1066

Two Norman soldiers were relaxing after the Battle of Hastings 1066.

"What a battle! What a victory! Someday children will read about this battle as a turning point of history...and we were here!"

"Perhaps," said the other soldier, "But I think they will be shielded from most of the details."

"Why?" the first soldier asked.

The other soldier shook his head and replied, "Too much Saxon violence."
