The Battle of Hastings

September 11th, 1297

Economic statistics are a modern phenomenon. In historic times it was not the international consideration it is today. When countries had an absolute ruler and that ruler required fiscal support he or she "taxed" the people under him/her. Who, in turn, taxed those under them. There was no overall national economy, merely an ability to raise a certain amount for a specific purpose.

Feudalism began when the Roman Empire lost the ability to run its far flung bureaucracy from the capital. Instead of appointing bureaucrats from Rome, it made the jobs hereditary. This became a part of Roman Law. When the Germanic Tribes over ran the Roman Empire, the German officers became the Nobility and the old Roman hereditary bureaucrats became lords of the manor. So, the top layer of government was replaced by a new top layer. They kept Roman Law but added Feudal Features.

Upon looking at a few sites on the internet, it has shown that beavers will have 2-4 "kits" at a time. However they won't have anymore than 8=9.

The Spanish Monarchy was restored by Franco's orders upon his death in 1975.

They were able to win the battles because the had a greater knowledge of the land around them.

The Middle Ages lasted a thousand years. There were times when England was rich, as during the reign of Henry V. And there were times when things were positively terrible, as during the time when Steven and Matilda were fighting over who should be the monarch.

Because from 449- 1066 the Saxons ruled England, but in 1066 Duke William of Normandy won the Battle of Hastings which made him king and he was not a Saxon so it became the Norman period of the Middle Ages.

1066, the 11th Century.

The battle took place because there was four people who wanted the throne after Edward the confessor died. first Harold godwinson and Harald hardrda fought and Harold won. then Harold faced William.

September 1066. Harald Harðráði (Sigurdsson) died September 25th 1066 at the Battle of Stamford Bridge. As he was the last great Viking king, this date is often considered the end of the Age of Vikings.

Sources say the battle started at 9 or 10 am on the 14th of October 1066. It lasted approximately nine hours.

Because the English King, Harold made a big mistake which lead to William of Normandy and his army (later William I of England to win the battle and become King of England

it is Halley's comet and it was thought to be a bad omen in 1066

They would play in the grass, go out for wood and train to be a knight

For the first years of his reign English political life was dominated by Godwin of Wessex, Leofric of Mercia and Siward of Northumbria. Godwin became the most important of these when Edward married his daughter Edith in 1045. Godwin hoped that his daughter would have a son but Edward had taken a vow of celibacy and it soon became clear that the couple would not produce an heir to the throne.

Two things that the Normans did well in the battle of Hastings were to cause the English to break down their shield wall, and getting them to give chase down the hill and then turn their forces on the English troops.

Augustine of Canterbury attempted to reconcile the Celtic and Latin factions of the Church of England. Eventually he persuaded the king of the Anglo-Saxons to accept Christianity.

Harold Godwinson was a good king because he was loyal and made great use of being what he was. Harold became king because Edward the conqueror married his sister and he was the closest relative to the throne. but unluckily shortly after he became king he was killed in the battle of Hastings in 1066.

He should not have been king because he was already king of Norway.

Charlemagne- King of France, in 800 A.D. (Easiest date in History!) By the way the monarch did not derive his name from his Beard! It means approximately Charles the Great, not Charles with the Mane!

As was William I in 1066

William I or more popularly known as "The Conqueror" was succeeded by William II.

there was 3 women who made the Bayeux Tapestry

he married Matilda of Flanders and had several children. Some of these were Robert Curthose, Richard (who was killed in a hunting accident in 1075), Cecily, Agatha, and Adela. His more valued children were William Rufus (who became King) Robert (was killed by William rufus and Henry Beauclerk (who became King after William).

He was good because he was a king. He was bad because he raped a lot of sexy women, mostly fingering their vaginas.
