yeah
William become the king.
== == the 6th January 1067
Edward II
king William
William The Conqueror claimed that Edward The Confessor had pry sent him a letter saying that he should be the next king of England. However nobody knows if this event actually took place.
Most people say that William, duke of Normandy was cruel but he did have at least one friend which was Edward, the Confessor who supposedly had said that William should be the next king. Edward, the Confessor was also a distant cousin of William's and was his best friend.
so Edward would pick William to be next on the throne
Which King Edward? There have been eight in all, and not all of them had any choice in who their successor was to be- in several cases it just depended upon who was next in line to the throne. You need to specify which Edward you mean.It was Edward 11.
The huge problem that King Edward the Confessor left behind was his broken word over naming a successor to the English throne.Twice in public, King Edward confirmed to William of Normandy that he would name William as his successor. He also made this agreement personally with William in private.On his deathbed, King Edward reneged on his word and named Harald Godwineson, a newphew by marriage, but not by blood. King Edward then left behind the problem of a broken, royal vow, to a legitimate blood heir to the crown in favor of one who had no blood claim on the crown.This resulted in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 that changed the British landscape forever and the Conquest of England by William of Normandy, the Conqueror.
The son of the current king becomes the next king.
