Lost letter reveals hidden hand behind the Norman Conquest of England

A researcher at the University of East Anglia claims that the outcome of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066 was shaped by more than the Battle of Hastings alone. A rediscovered lost letter reportedly reveals that a well-connected individual played a decisive behind-the-scenes role in England's fate. The findings offer a new perspective on the deaths of King Harold II and the rise of William the Conqueror.
