As a part of the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman conquest of England, we asked 1,000 children to name the most important moments in English history. While some answers cover iconic moments such as the end of the Second World War and the sealing of Magna Carta, the children also picked some more unexpected events such as the arrival of the Black Death and the invention of the internet.

Children's author and illustrator Liz Pichon will use these moments to create a 21st century version of the Bayeux Tapestry which will be revealed this summer. Children will have the chance to submit their own illustrations to complete the tenth and final panel.

Liz Pichon said: "It's great to see children so clued up on history. Their choices are inspiring and I can't wait to start drawing and bringing these moments to life. English Heritage's Summer of 1066 promises to be fantastic fun and I'm delighted to be part of it."

Who knows more?

We also tested kids and their parents on their historical knowledge, with some surprising results. 52% of children correctly named castles as one of the things the Normans were famous for bringing to England, compared to 45% of parents, while 10% of parents even stated that the Normans were most famous for bringing chocolate to our shores.
