What pope backed William of Normandy?
After Edward the Confessor died, Duke William of Normandy thought that Edward would have wanted him to become the next King of England. But Harold Godwin already had other plans and already had been crowned King of England. This had made William furious. He decided a battle should take place to see who was fit to be the real king. As they fought at Senlac Hill(which was known as the famous Battle of Hastings), the fearless Normans ran up the hill, and killed Harold. The battle was over and William was crowned King. The English hated William. He always punished the innocent along with the guilty. William died a brutal death,too. An arrow was speared into his chest accidentally, and he died on the spot. Good for him, right? And as you can see, no one supported him to become king. Everyone detested him, even his fellow countrymen!
