英国遗产委员会日前获得了一份尘封数十年的彩色影像档案，记录了1966年10月14日举办的黑斯廷斯战役900周年纪念重演活动1。这场重演由肯特大学和萨塞克斯大学的约500名学生参与1，吸引了约30000名现场观众1。影像由当地电子制造商艾伦·伍顿拍摄，最近被其子克利夫捐赠给英国遗产委员会，随后被剪辑成12分钟纪录片1。
重演现场的激烈程度超出预期。参与者彼得·桑普森回忆当时的景象，称"那里有大量真实的推搡和打斗"1。活动进行中甚至发生了意外受伤事件——参加者约翰因被假矛打中头部而受伤1。尽管许多细节并不完全符合历史事实，但这段影像仍然生动地捕捉了当年群众的热情参与和现场的混乱激烈1。
相比之下，今年筹划中的重演活动规模更大，计划在10月10日和11日举办，预计将有1000名参演者参加1。
The English Heritage organization has acquired vivid archival footage documenting the 900th anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Hastings, held on October 14, 1966.1 The event drew approximately 500 participants from the University of Kent and the University of Sussex, along with around 30,000 spectators.1 The film, originally shot on 300 reels by local electronics manufacturer Alan Wootton, was recently donated to English Heritage by Wootton's son Cliff and has since been edited into a 12-minute documentary.1
The reenactment captured considerable physical intensity, with participant Peter Sampson recalling that there was "a lot of real pushing and fighting" on the day.1 One participant named John sustained a head injury after being struck with a foam spear during the action.1 While many historical details in the production departed from strict accuracy, the footage preserves both the vigorous combat and the enthusiasm of the assembled crowd.1
This year's Battle of Hastings reenactment is scheduled for October 10 and 11, expecting to involve approximately 1,000 performers.1
