"Being Southerners, it was a source of shame to some members of the family that we had no recorded ancestors on either side of the Battle of Hastings".

King William I, was the Norman, William the Conquer, of the Battle of Hastings 1066 fame, and a catholic! So I don't see catholics hating him.

I suspect that the questioner mean King William of Orange, who was a protestant?

It's Romanticism...! Early 19th Century movement in art and thought ~ focused on Emotion and Nature ~ Rather than reason and & Society.

he walked over 9.24 miles north to get to Hastings.

He and his soulders were very tired.

One of the most important facets of the Battle of Hastings in 1066 is that it was the first time in history that the British had been defeated. Franceâ??s Duke of Normandy had such determination to cross the heretofore impassable, watery fortress that was the English Channel that he did just that, proving that no nation can ever be completely confident in its supremacy.

Um they grabbed

Harold was born circa 1022 in Bosham, West Sussex, England. Birth dates for his brothers and sisters place it at least as early as 1023, since his younger sister, Gunhilda, was born in about 1024:

From records remaining, we know Harold was the second child and Gunhilda was the third. It stands to reason, then, that Harold was born no later than 1023. Most estimates place his birth in 1022.

The Battle of Buxar was fought on 22 October 1764

william wanted too win the battle of hastings soooooo badly that he used the same trick 3 times

Many of the powerful men, lords in the land and the Witenagemot (people who decide who is king if there is no successor) although William of Normandy was Edwards named heir.

The Normans were descendants of the Viking conquerors and the native Merovingian's. They emerged starting in the 10th century and over the next centuries gradually evolved.

William gained control of England by building castles which insured that the locals didn't put up rebellions and if they did they were easily stopped by the soldiers. castles scared the locals.

Next William created the feudal system that insured that everyone was loyal to the king and the people above them as they had to pay eachover taxes. The fuedal system ensured that the barons were loyal to the king, the knights were loyal to the barons and the peaseants were loyal to the knights which meant that everyone was under the kings control.

Next William created the domesday book which kept a record of how many animals or how many fields a person has therefore how much tax they should be charged . However the book was only used for 2 years as William died soon after creating it meaning it wasnt as useful.

I dont Know TELL ME

He fell for a trick of William's 3 TIMES. Williams side pretended to retreat while Harold and his army charged at them. Then Williams side suddenly attacked. Someone may want to improve this; I'm not that good at History...

Edward the Confessor had promised the crown of England to two different men. When he had lived in exile in Normandy, he had promised the crown to the young William, Duke of Normandy. At the time of his death, he promised it Harold Godwinson, a local English hero. War erupted, ending in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 and the victory of William.
