East Sussex – Location of the “Battle of Hastings”
Evidence of a prehistoric race of people has been found in the county and the remains found have been called the “Boxgrove man” (after the location in which the bones were found). They are thought to belong to a species known as Homo Heidelbergensis. The findings are said to date back around 500,000 years.
There are also remains from the Early Bronze Age, the first evidence of the migration of people from northern Europe since the early Neolithic period. Many Iron Age settlements can also be found in East Sussex. The area was also occupied by a Roman army as early as 55 BC (for a short time), before the Roman Conquest in 43 AD.
After the Romans came the Saxons and then the Normans. It was in 1066 that the Battle of Hastings took place and saw the defeat of the English and the death of King Harold.
