Who was the king before William the Conqueror?
wrong it is in fact Harold godwinson. William duke of normandys arm killed Harold so he became king
Why was Harold's oath to William the Conqueror important?
In 1066, Harold was a key candidate to take the throne of England after the death of Edward the Confessor in January 1066. Harold was an important noble man in England who had both the support of the Witan and important earls Edwin and Morcar- the sister of whom he had also dinastically married.
Even though the accounts of Harold's oath were sketchy- it was not clear if he had been on a fishing trip (shown by the Bayeux tapestry) and blown ashore by a storm or whether he was going to release his imprisoned relatives (Hakon- Nephew and Wulfnoth- Brother) in 1064, but what we do know is that he met with William and perhaps offered him an oath over holy relics that gave William the claim to the throne (some accounts of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle say that William had met Edward in 1051 and was promised the throne due to his ties and shown ability to rule his own duchy of Normandy- giving him more reason to claim it) and that he would be his liege in order to have parts of his town fortified and one of the prisoners released.
The importance of the oath is that, Harold was condemned by William to the Pope (as the oath had been made over Holy Relics) as a perjured usurper "whom William was bound to attack and kill" [Howarth] It gave William the right to claim the throne from Harold as he had forcefully taken it and had gone back on the oath that he had made to William in 1064.
Not only did the oath give William an advantageous reason to take the throne- but it also bought him valuable papal support as claiming Harold as the perjurer and a usurper the Pope (Alexander II) offered William the papal banner- turning the conquest of England into a holy war for the throne.
What is the order of the Tudors and The Stuarts in timeline?
the royal tudor line started in 1485 with Henry Tudor (now known as henry vii) after he defeated richard iii in the war of the roses. he was married to elizabeth of york, she gave birth to three children 2 were male heirs. the oldest and prince of wales was author however before his father died he did probably of tuberculosis (TB). so when henry vii died his other son henry viii became king. it is widely known that henry had 6 wives but only the first three bore children. his first wife Catherine of aragon's only surviving child was mary tudor. his second wife Anne Boylen's only surviving child was Elizabeth tudor and henry's third wife was Jane Seymour produced henry's one and only surviving son Edward tudor. by divorcing his first wife and killing his second he bastardized his 2 female children but with no other surviving children near the end of his reign he reinstated his two daughters as rightful and lawful heirs to his throne. on the 28th january henry viii died and edward was declared as King Edward vi of england. he was nine years old. he never married and never had any children and died when he was just 15 years old. however he was protestant and mary was catholic so going against his fathers will he changed the tudor line to the greys. so that what happened in 1553. the greys oldest child became queen however before she could be coronated she was denied the crown and mary tudor was crowned queen. she married the spanish crowned prince however they failed to produce an heir and the prince also lost interest. so in 1558 when mary died Elizabeth became queen. as commonly know she refused to marry and as a consequence produced no children. so when she died in 1603 the line was passed (also against her fathers last will) to her scottish cousin James Stewart vi of scotland.

Why were the colonists taxed by King George?
The British colonies were established to further the interests of Britain and populated with emigrants from Britain, so they were always taxed from the beginning. By the time of the American Revolution, the King of Great Britain did not hold much real power and he was just a figure head. It was Parliament who decided what taxes and laws to impose upon the colonies. Parliament consists of MPs (members of parliament) that were elected (at this time, only by the rich). However, the colonists were not able to vote in these elections and this is why they felt they were being taxed without representation.
