The Falaise Roll is a list of 315 names engraved on the bronze memorial erected in 1931 in the chapel of the castle of Falaise in Normandy. These individuals were chosen because of the probability of their having fought in the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Most of the work consists of biographies of those recorded on the roll. Additional biographies are given for other companions chosen from among many names for whom participation at Hastings has been specifically claimed.
