As Duke of Normandy, William was the overlord of the Norman barons. These men were considered the Duke's vassals and were obligated to take up arms and provide soldiers and supplies for him in any conflict or war he became involved in.

The invasion of England also brought the promise of spoils of war---money, properties and titles taken by William, who would then reward those men who had assisted him.

Did FRANCE and ENGLAND go together to defeat the vikings in the Battle of Hastings?

The Battle of Hastings in 1066 was fought between the Normans of France and the Anglo-Saxons of Britain. The Normans defeated the Anglo-Saxons and their leader William I The Conqueror became the king of England, facilitating the French influence on the English language and culture. Further answer: The confusion can arise because the Normans were of Norse (Viking) descent, and had only been in Normandy in northern France for about 150 years before William invaded England. William actually had a good family claim to the throne of England, trouble was, so did Harold and others!
