William, Duke of Normandy, landed at Pevensey Bay in England before The Battle of Hastings in 1066. His forces disembarked there on September 28, 1066, and established a stronghold, which set the stage for the subsequent confrontation with King Harold II's army. The battle itself took place on October 14, 1066, leading to a decisive Norman victory and the eventual Norman conquest of England.

The legitimate brother of a king was usually a prince. Sometimes, the brother of the king had some other title, such as duke.

Illegitimate brothers sometimes had titles and sometimes not; they were almost never princes.

Why did the English rulers feel they had a right to Normandy and other french lands?

The English rulers believed they had a right to Normandy and other French lands primarily due to historical claims and dynastic ties. William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy, became King of England after his successful invasion in 1066, which established a connection between the two regions. Additionally, subsequent English monarchs, such as King John, held territories in France through inheritance and marriage alliances, reinforcing their claims to these lands. This sense of entitlement was further fueled by the feudal system, where land ownership and loyalty were deeply intertwined.
