The Norman Retconquest
RETCON: ‘Retroactive Continuity’ — generally used in science fiction and fantasy to re-write historical lore to make it conform to modern interpretations.
That’s what the BBC is doing to their new series on The Norman Conquest: William I of Normandy’s successful invasion of the British Isles and the defeat of the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hastings.
Steve Green leads a new edition of The Right Angle, joined by Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
