Year 1066 (MLXVI) was a common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar) of the Julian calendar. The year is considered by many historians to be a turning point in history due to various events (see below), particularly the Battle of Hastings and ensuing Norman conquest of England, with years prior to 1066 being the late Dark Ages and years after 1066 being the Middle Ages.[1] Often erroneously labeled "the last successful invasion of Great Britain", it was in fact the last successful conquest of Great Britain (the last successful invasion of Great Britain in general -by the Dutch in 1688- was upon invitation by Parliament to overthrow King James II of England).
