1066 The Film PLC is a UK registered company that has been established to bring the epic tale of the events that lead to the Great Battle of Hastings to the big screen. Spanning almost 60 years our story follows the rise and fall of the House of Godwin from the reign of King Cnut to that fateful day in October 1066 when King Harold ll faced defeat by the battle hardened invasion forces of William the Duke of Normandy on Senlac Hill.

There is far more to the history of the Battle of Hastings than the widely believed and often incorrect “facts” that have found their way into popular culture. It is not just a story of men fighting over a disputed crown; it is a story of loyalty, deep love and honour, set against the consequences of the treachery and bitter hatred of sibling rivalry, which combined with an overwhelming lust for power changed the course of English history forever.

‘1066 The Film PLC’ is a film financing company that has the exclusive rights to the script of ‘1066’. The aim of the company is to enable the very best technicians, actors and production staff the freedom to tell the story without influence, with respect for the integrity and essence of this major historical event.
