1066 battlers (7)
I believe the answer is:
normans
'1066 battlers' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for normans that I've seen before include "William the Conqueror's lot?" , "belonging to Greg the golfer?" , "11th century invaders" , "French folk" , "Invaders in 1066" .)
