What happens in 1066, avoiding king's disputed ground (2,4,4)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
no mans land
'ground' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for no mans land that I've seen before include "Animal Farm?" , "unclaimed area" , "What separates the sides" , "Troops couldn't take it" , "Female country" .)
