Normans vs Saxons

hill pitch

Look closely at this picture. Can you see the football pitch marked out on the hill? Why might you find it difficult to play a match here?

This hill reminded me of the battle between the Normans and the Saxons. Imagine if they had played a game of football here to decide on the new King of England!

Who would win? Who would get a red card? What could the headline be for a newspaper report about this game?

  1. I loved learning about Rollo’s adventure. My favourite part was when Rollo fell off Firebrand. I bet Thea will enjoy invasion.
