On that morning of October 14th of the year 1066, there was something in the air. Was easy to feel great and serious events approaching. King Harold II of England came right on time for his appointment with history. With his army he was blocking the road to London. So he was showing his decision to stop the Norman invasion there, no matter the cost. It was about to ocur a medieval joust, to determine not only who would be king, but also the future course of the nation.
