The Roll of Battle Abbey
The Roll of Battle Abbey contains the names of several hundred of the noble companions of William the Conqueror. The work in hand, a compilation by John Bernard Burke, is a heavily annotated list of the companions of the Conqueror, the annotations providing an account of the origins of each companion and his relationship to William, a description of his baronies and estates, an assessment of his position in the feudal hierarchy, and a concise history of his life and times.

Battle Abbey and Battlefield
The Battle of Hastings, 14 October 1066, was the most famous battle fought on English soil, and its consequences are still felt after nearly 1,000 years. William the Conqueror built Battle Abbey on the exact place where King Harold died, and it thrived as a Benedictine abbey for over 400 years. This guide includes a tour of the battlefield and the imposing abbey buildings, and a history of the site, illustrated with full-colour maps, reconstruction drawings and historical images.
