What Is Sussex Part 2 (History)

This is Part Two of “What is Sussex?” (Finally! Apologies for the delay.)
Here, The Yank in Sussex discusses the history of the land called Sussex, especially in relationship to overall British history. I’m only covering Sussex and British history up to the Norman Conquest in Part Two.
Part Three will continue with Sussex history after the Normans arrived. Stay tuned!

just Found your channel and i would like to point out the Battle of Hasting did not take place at Hastings it took place at Senlac hill in the town of Battle where Battle Abbey was built

[@SussexYank]

You're right of course. But that's the name of the battle, and most people know it by its common name, the "Battle of Hastings," which is I called it that. I will probably make a video about the battle later, and will of course point out its true location.
From Wiki: "The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle called it the battle "at the hoary apple tree". Within 40 years, the battle was described by the Anglo-Norman chronicler Orderic Vitalis as "Senlac", a Norman-French adaptation of the Old English word "Sandlacu", which means "sandy water". This may have been the name of the stream that crosses the battlefield. The battle was already being referred to as "bellum Haestingas" or "Battle of Hastings" by 1086, in the Domesday Book."
