It is likely the Normans used the Bayeux tapestry to justify their invasion, and therefore is highly likely to be bias when depicting the Norman invasion. Moreover, the Bayeux Tapestry was made during the 1070's yet displays events even before 1066. It also only shows images and very little text and consequently, important events are unclear.

I can think of one, he had experience as before he won the battle of Hastings (1066) he had been Duke Of Normandy so was good at making decisions! I Need another answer too :/

Norman monkeybars was a folk hero

It is frequently said that the illuminati fed him information whilst he was planning his invasion in France. He also hired mercinaries to invade in small numbers who would report back to France with information on the English troops.

1915, recruiting committees were formed in nearly every town throughout Australia. In the central west of New South Wales a movement began which became known as the "Gilgandra snowball". Under the leadership of Mr W.T. Hitchen, 20 or so men who had determined to enlist marched to Sydney, gathering other recruits along the way. This was known as the Coo-ee march and comprised about 300 men by the time the contingent reached Sydney. Their example was soon followed by other marches from around New South Wales and Queensland: Waratahs, Kangaroos, Wallabies, Dungarees, Men from Snowy River, Kurrajongs, Kookaburras, Central West Boomerangs and North Coast Boomerangs. The total of men who marched was only about 1,500 but some historians consider the marches successful in influencing many other men to enlist. Twenty six men left Gilgandra on 10 October 1915 on the 'Cooee March', led by the Captain of the local rifle club, William Thomas Hitchen. At each town on the route the marchers shouted "cooee" to attract recruits and held recruitment meetings. By the time they reached Sydney just over one month later on 12 November, the numbers had swelled to 263 recruits, marching a total of 320 miles and being welcomed by large crowds along the way. The Cooee Festival commemorates the famous 1915 Cooee March. After the Gallipoli disaster and the first casualty lists were published the number of Australian men enlisting to go to war dwindled. In an attempt to change this trend, thirty-five men set out on a recruitment drive from Gilgandra to help in the WW1 effort, calling out "Cooee" to encourage men along the way to come and enlist also.

William of Normandy's Breton Allies are from Brittany a Region know that is in the North West of France. Most of the People their Consider themselves Breton instead of French like they have done for more than a thousand years they are Celt people who are related to Welsh and Cornish people of the UK.The Breton army at that time were like Mercenaries who cam to help Kings of other Empires defeat their fore. They were allied to Normandy through an historic event when the Bretons made a mutual pact with the Vikings as Normandy was a Viking Settlement to Fight against the Germanic Empires who Ruled most of Nothern Europe at that Time.

He wouldnt. He made a very poor king, and was famous for how badly he treated the English, for instance in the Harrowing of the North. On his deathbed he admitted as much, saying "'I have cruelly oppressed them and ... killed innumerable multitudes by famine or the sword".

Resistance to Norman rule was widespread - another English king was crowned, and Hereward the Wake waged guerilla war against them in East Anglia, with the aid of England's ally Denmark, for a generation - while even after the harrowing, the north was never fully subjugated.

William was so despised that two centuries after, at the battle of Crecy - king Edward the third flew the White Dragon (Huitdraka) Banner as his battle standard - the banner of the king who fought William at Hastings.

Bayeux, France.

It has, the question should be rephrased as successfully invaded. The isolation of the UK in being composed of islands, the weather in the channels and seas surrounding the islands and the strength of the Royal Navy have been the main reasons. Latterly the RAF also has defeated the Luftwaffe leading to the cancellation of operation Sea Lion in 1940. Additionally the Kingdom of Great Britain only came about when Scotland and England united (Crown 1603 , Parliament 1707). It became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland in 1801. A number of attempts have been made, the main of which are :- England :- The 1216 invasion by Louis VIII of France, defeated. The 1386 French planned invasion during the hundred years war never carried out. The Spanish Armada 1588 which was defeated at Sea consisting of 22 warships and 108 converted merchant ships carrying troops and supplies. 1688 Dutch army with English Parliament's invitation "invades" to put William of Orange on the throne. Great Britain 1708 French troops 6,000 strong accompany James Stuart to invade Scotland, fleet defeated by Royal Navy and dispersed 1719 5,000 Spanish troops supporting James Stuart land in Scotland but are defeated 1744 10,000 French troops loaded onto barges but bad weather and the Royal Navy wrecks the fleet 1746 - Troops (mainly exiled Scots and Irish regiments serving in the French army), supplies and money landed in support of Bonnie Prince Charlie - Jacobite's defeated at Culloden. 1759 - 100,000 troops assemble but the invasion is cancelled after British Naval defeats of the French. 1778 onwards French/Spanish plans to invade during the American war of Independence. 1797 French landed in Wales - defeated 1798 French & Irish rebels landed in Ireland - defeated United Kingdom 1803-1805 Napoleon plans invasion but is never carried out 1940 - Operation Sea Lion - cancelled after air supremacy cannot be won by the Germans. The Battle of Britain occurs "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few" Answer Great Britain is a fairly recent creation and consists of the nations of England, Scotland and Wales and has never been invaded. If you mean who invaded these contries as a whole before the concept of Great Britain was invented, then the last time was 1066 by the Norman's. They were a group from what is now Northern France with their origins in Scandanavia. There have been unsuccessful attempts or threats of invasion since, namely by Spain with The Armada, France under Napoleon and Germany under Hitler, but all failed. There have been partial raids into parts of England by Spain and Scotland but they never invaded the whole country, however England did conquer both Wales and Scotland leading eventually to the creation of Great Britain.

Henry VIII got a divorce and remarried, but still wanted to be part of the church. So he split off and made his own church and made him the head of it, so that he would be able to marry Anne Boleyn and be part of the church. This made his whole country have to stop being Catholic and start being Anglican.

A huge amount of people had claims to the throne but only 3 men had legitimate reasons to believe they were the true kings of England after Edward died.

Harold Godwineson - Because he was Edwards grandchild and he was the only family who had made a claim and also because his family was the most powerful in all of England. And before Edawrd died he touced Harold on the hand.

Harald Hadraada - because he knew England was ruled by vikings up until the point Edward became king and he though England needed a viking king again.

William (Duke) of Normandy (France) - His claim was the strongest of the the three him and Edward were friends, and when Harold Godwineson attack Edward for the crown Edward called upon his best friend William for help. Inturn the deal was if WIlliam helped and was sucessful when Edward died he would be the next king.

Manassas. The Yankees called the same Battle Bull Run. The Yankees named the battles after the nearest body of water, and the Rebels called them after the nearest town. A "run" is a large creek in that part of Virginia, and it was "bull" run because it was a place where the buffalo used to go to drink in the 1700s, before they were hunted out of existence in that area. There was another, even larger battle on the same ground the next year. Other battles with two names include Murfreesboro (Rebel) or Stones River (Yankee), and Sharpsburg (Rebel) or Antietam (Yankee).

He lost it in the war. He got shot with a bow an arrow
