Spanish abstract The objective of this article is to highlight the striking similarities between the narratives of Anglo-Norman sources concerning the battle of Hastings (14 October of 1066), fought between the Normans of duke William of Normandy and the Anglo-Saxons of king Harold Godwinson and the narrative, respectively, of Anna Komnene for the battle of Dyrrachium (18 October of 1081), fought between the Normans of Robert Guiscard and the Byzantines of emperor Alexios I Komnenos. The author tries to support the theory that Anna Komnene made a deliberate attempt to incorporate in her narrative the central events and details of the battle of Hastings.
