BATTLE, a town of Sussex, five miles north-west of Hastings, situated in E. Long. o. 35. N. Lat. 50. 55. It was formerly called Epiton; and is the place where William the Conqueror vanquished Harold king of England on October 14th 1066. William, in memory of this victory, erected an abbey, which he called Battle Abbey; and if a criminal could but reach this abbey, he was dismissed from thence, and was afterwards in no danger for his past faults. The abbey was a large and noble noble structure, as may be judged by the gateway which is still entire, as well as from the other remains.
