1066 was the year in which the Battle of Hastings was fought in England. It helped to give the Normans, under William the Conqueror control over England, led by Harold Godwinson.

The Monk once unsuccessfully tried to change the outcome, to hand victory to the [[Saxon]s. He was stopped by the First Doctor, Steven and Vicki. (DW: The Time Meddler)

On the field of battle, the Eighth Doctor and Mary Shelley met King Harold. (BFA: Mary's Story)

At the conclusion of the battle, according to one account, Harold's body was intentionally misidentified by Countess Gytha and Lady Edith Swan-Neck. In fact, Harold had survived the battle, but the false identification allowed him to die as Harold but be "reborn" as Hereward the Wake. (DWA: The Real Hereward)
