Today, having already walked Roman & Anglo-Saxon London, it is time to move on to the medieval sites in the capital. These, of course, are concentrated within the walls of what had once been the Roman city, but not exclusively so. There is also Westminster, Southwark - & beyond.
Already, by 1066, London was England’s largest, richest & most important urban centre. William the Conqueror, rather than advancing directly on the city after Hastings, made an intimidating march across the s-east before capturing it from the north.
“It is a most spacious city, full of evil inhabitants, and richer than anywhere else in the kingdom. Protected on the left by walls and on the right by the river, it fears neither armies nor capture by guile” – Guy of Amiens (c. 1067) #EvilInhabitants
