Who was the last Saxon to hold out against the Normans?
The last Saxon to hold out against the Normans was Hereward the Wake. He led a rebellion against William the Conqueror in the early 1070s, primarily based in the Fens of eastern England. Hereward's resistance became legendary, symbolizing the struggle against Norman rule, but ultimately, he was defeated, and resistance diminished thereafter. His efforts are often romanticized in English folklore and literature.

Additionally, the era was marked by the emergence of funk and soul bands like Earth, Wind & Fire and Kool & The Gang.

Was the Bayeux Tapestry Saxon or Norman?
The Bayeux Tapestry is preserved and displayed in Bayeux, in Normandy, France. Nothing is known for certain about the tapestry's origins. The first written record of the Bayeux Tapestry is in 1476 when it was recorded in the cathedral treasury at Bayeux as "a very long and narrow hanging on which are embroidered figures and inscriptions comprising a representation of the conquest of England". The Bayeux Tapestry was probably commissioned in the 1070s by Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror. It is over 70 metres long and although it is called a tapestry it is in fact an embroidery, stitched not woven in woollen yarns on linen. Some historians argue that it was embroidered in Kent, England. The original tapestry is on display at Bayeux in Normandy, France. So it seems the jury's out on that one.

What did the people of England think of Duke William in 1066 when he became king in 1066?
The English or 'Anglo-Saxons' Earls elected Edgar as the next King of England, after Harold's death. There is evidence to indicate that this was widely supported. Edgar being of the family of Cerdric, an ancient Anglo-saxon bloodline. However the difficulties were enormous, despite popular support for continued resitance, the English had niether the manpower or leadership to oppose the Norman force, which was quickly marching to London, pillaging as it went. Edgar was only 12 when he was elected King and the Bishops subsequently failed to consecrate him (meaning he was never crowned). The nobility realised that although the Normans weren't welcome, that to surreder and avoid further destruction/bloodshed would be the most prudent answer. However Earl Morcare and Ealdwin fled to Northern England, which provided resistance until the 1070s which was later spearheaded by a more mature Prince Edgar, who in the end was bought off with Norman silver. In other words, the English disliked William, but they had no other choice but to accept him.
Who arranged for Bayeux Tapstry to be made?
French legend maintained the tapestry was commissioned and created by Queen Matilda, William The Conqueror's wife, and her ladies-in-waiting. Indeed, in France it is occasionally known as "La Tapisserie de la Reine Mathilde" (Tapestry of Queen Matilda). However, recent scholarly analysis in the 20th century shows it probably was commissioned by William the Conqueror's half brother, Bishop Odo. The reasons for the Odo commission theory include: 1) three of the bishop's followers mentioned in Doomesday Book appear on the tapestry; 2) it was found in Bayeux Cathedral, built by Odo; and 3) it may have been commissioned at the same time as the cathedral's construction in the 1070s, possibly completed by 1077 in time for display on the cathedral's dedication. Also it has been attributed to Odo of Bayeux because he himself is depicted at a few decisive moments in the tapestry narrative, precisely the dinning scene which resembles the image of the last supper. == ==
What is the smallest mountain in North America?
According to several sources (see below), the worlds smallest mountain range occurs in California's Great Central Valley, near Yuba City. Sutter Buttes has several summits ranging from West Butte's 1670 feet to South butte's 2060 ft. These elevations are from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The definition of mountain does not include an elevation range so it is subjective to say whether a feature is a tall hill or a small mountain. Therefore it is also subjective to say which mountain summit is the smallest until you are actually talking about a large hill. The USGS website states that a criteria of 1000 feet dividing hill from mountain was abandoned in the 1070s. Since a search engine query of smallest mountain offers several listings for Sutter Buttes, it is safe to say that would be your best answer. Elevations at Sutter Buttes are as follows: South Butte - 2060 North butte - 1827 Twin Peaks - 1768 West Butte - 1670 This leaves West Butte as seemingly North America's smallest mountain in a mountain range. Interestingly, the world's single smallest mountain, again according to several sources, is Mount Wycheproof in Wycheproof, Australia, at only 141 feet high. The way to get a more correct answer is for the person with the question to define mountain.
Where was the bayeux tapestry found?
It is presently exhibited in a special museum in Bayeux, Normandy, France - where I went to see it for myself. Since the earliest known written reference to the tapestry is a 1476 inventory of Bayeux Cathedral, its origins have been the subject of much speculation and controversy. French legend maintained the tapestry was commissioned and created by Queen Matilda, William the Conqueror's wife, and her ladies-in-waiting. Indeed, in France it is occasionally known as "La Tapisserie de la Reine Mathilde" (Tapestry of Queen Matilda). However, scholarly analysis in the 20th century shows it probably was commissioned by William's half brother, Biship Odo. The reasons for the Odo commission theory include: 1) three of the bishop's followers mentioned in Doomsday Book appear on the tapestry; 2) it was found in Bayeux Cathedral, built by Odo; and 3) it may have been commissioned at the same time as the cathedral's construction in the 1070s, possibly completed by 1077 in time for display on the cathedral's dedication. Assuming Odo commissioned the tapestry, it was probably designed and constructed in England by Anglo-Saxon aritists given that Odo's main power base was in Kent, the Latin text contains hints of Anglo Saxon, other embroideries originate from England at this time, and the vegetable dyes can be found in cloth traditionally woven there. Assuming this was the case, the actual physical work of stitching was most likely undertaken by skilled seamsters. Anglo-Saxon needlework, was famous across Europe.
