Who was the next king after Henry VII?
Henry VIII succeeded his father Henry VII following the latter's death in April 1509. It was the first untroubled succession in many years. Henry was not properly prepared for his role as king as for the first 10 or so years of his life he was in fact second in line to the throne after his elder brother Arthur. Had Arthur survived the illness that caused his death in 1501 it would have been him and not Henry who would have succeeded. Hope this helps.

What did roger of wendover think of King John?
Roger of Wendover,to say the least, hated King John.
Roger was a monk at about the same time John was king and John was having a large disagreement with the church at this time (he believed that he could choose a better replacement archbishop than the pope and after some drama he became excommunicated) which is probably the reason that Roger hated him. Plus there was other stuff like raising taxes and losing wars to the french, twice.
Probably because the king's pay would convince judges to side with the king, making for a biased court system.
Since the Judge was being paid for by the king, he would want to rule in favor of the king.
If the judges were being paid by the King Of England, then their ruling would tend to more in the direction of the King's rule. There was no uniquely American law, as it were, in this country until 1776 when the War of Independence took place and the Bill of Rights was drafted so the law of the land was still the same as Great Britain's.
Why was William the Conqueror remembered?
He was a Norman (descendent of Vikings in northern France -- Normandy) who conquered England from its Anglo-Saxon (Germanic -- "Old English") kings in 1066, near the town of Hastings, in Sussex, England. (A famous tapestry, now housed in the city of Bayeux, Normandy, France, depicts the battle from the winners' side and is called the "Bayeux Tapestry".) His dynasty brought French to England, and the combination of French and Old English became Middle English -- the first time the English language was really beginning to have the vocabulary it has today. The conflict between France and England through the Middle Ages and Renaissance, began to worsen through Norman alliances, too: they owned territories in France, so subsequent English kings & queens tried to conquer France for several hundred years.
