This stunning chess set is based on the famous Battle of Hastings in which King Harold II of England opposed the invading Norman army led by William the Duke of Normandy on October 14th 1066.

These chess pieces are authentic reproductions of the characters, clothing and equipment of the era. Hand-sculpted and hand-painted in the UK, this Battle of Hastings set comes complete with a beautiful presentation box.
