The definitive character-led history of the most famous year in history.

On 5 January 1066, Edward the Confessor's death plunged the nation into a succession crisis that would indelibly change England forever. Mere hours after Edward’s remains had been laid to rest, his brother-in-law Harold II seized power, inciting the wrath of two formidable challengers: King Haraldr of Norway and Edward’s ambitious cousin, William, Duke of Normandy.

In this startling new history, Dr Erin Goeres unveils the intense drama that unfolded over the tumultuous nineteen days between the Battles of Stamford Bridge and Hastings in the Autumn of 1066, and which led to the deaths of two monarchs, ending a centuries-long Anglo-Scandinavian rule.

Drawing on sources from England, Normandy and Scandinavia, Goeres uncovers complex histories, characters, and motivations. We meet the women at the heart of the fray – such as William's enigmatic wife, Matilda of Flanders, the alleged lover of Harold of England and the ‘driving force’ behind her husband's invasion – as well as the regular people who were swept up in events beyond their control, such as a farmer, beheaded for an unwillingness to give his jacket to a Norwegian invader.

Nineteen Days in Autumn is a gripping tale of three nations entwined, the devastating consequences of their unravelling and the subsequent memorialisation of this saga, which has given rise to the nationalistic myths of today.

批評家のレビュー

Original and vivid, Nineteen Days in Autumn brings the eleventh century to life. Erin Goeres is a sure and careful guide through the historical thicket of the events of 1066. Goeres is also a dazzlingly creative writer, dramatically evoking the personalities of this crucial moment. (Anthony Bale, author of A Travel Guide to the Middle Ages)
A wonderfully vivid and exciting account, written with verve, authority and sympathy. Erin Goeres' book introduces us to a cast of key characters, brilliantly described locations and explains the historical forces and individual impulses that shape three pivotal weeks in British history. (Carolyne Larrington, Emerita Professor of Medieval European Literature, University of Oxford)
The real story of 1066, brilliantly told and full of epic drama and bold personalities (Anne Curry, Emeritus Professor of Medieval History, University of Southampton)
This is a compelling new account of the most famous year in English history. Erin Goeres draws on her masterful knowledge of the medieval sources to trace the dramatic build-up to the Conquest, not only in England and Normandy but across northern Europe. Written with imagination and flair, this book vividly brings to life the real human stories at the heart of the fateful events of 1066. (Eleanor Parker, author of Conquered: The Last Children of Anglo-Saxon England)
This book triumphantly ticks all the boxes: a hugely entertaining new account by a top-notch scholar of one of the best known but least well understood events in English history: the Norman invasion of 1066. Interspersing the gossipy yarns of early chroniclers with her own clear-eyed and engaging analysis, Goeres introduces us to the unforgettable players in this drama: the devious half-Danish king of England Harold Godwinson, whose own brother Tostig has defected to the Scandinavian side; one-time viking adventurer and now king of Norway, Haraldr Sigurðarson; and William the Conqueror himself. Ranging from Iceland to Kyiv, from Wales to Byzantium, Goeres shows us how in 1066 all roads led, ultimately, to Hastings. (Heather O'Donoghue, Professor Emeritus of Old Norse, University of Oxford)
