THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS: A MARXIST ANALYSIS

THE BATTLE OF HASTINGS: A MARXIST ANALYSIS

Hastings SWP open meeting
Thursday 13 November
7.00pm
The White Rock Hotel TN34 IJU

The Norman Conquest of 1066 didn’t just change who wore the crown — it transformed who owned the land and set in motion a thousand years of class rule. The English warlord barons rewarded by William the Conqueror became the ancestors of today’s aristocrats and billionaires, still owning vast estates while millions of us struggle to pay rent.

Join us to discuss how the Norman invasion created a ruling class whose grip on wealth and power continues to shape Britain — and how that legacy of conquest, enclosure and empire made Britain the world’s foremost imperial power.

History isn’t just about the past — it’s about understanding the system we need to overthrow today.
