The Battle of Hastings

Put yourself in his place. Think about the time, place, and how he was feeling. As a surf he was required by his Lord to serve in the army. He didn't have a choice. He was using farm tools as weapons, had no armour, or shield and was facing certain death. If he was wounded he usually died in pain where he fell. The wives and daughters of this man would have no support after his death and he may be thinking about this as he went into battle. Battle in 1066 was dirty, close, and very bloody. He would see friends, fathers, brothers killed around him. The weather didn't help either so he could be cold, wet or hungry. Think about the sounds and smells he would be around. He would hear the clang of metal and men hurt, in pain, or dying. He would smell death with a mixture of blood and earth. So much blood would be spilled in battles of this sort that it didn't soak into the ground or the streams would turn red with blood. There may be the sounds of animals dying. If the man happen to live through the battle he may live the rest of his days without a arm, leg, or other body parts. Get the idea? I would give an assignment like this to my history students to see how much they understood about what I was teaching so think out of the box on this assignment and what it would be like to be there. Watch Brave heart or a movie of that sort to get the "feeling" of this kind of battle.

The monks didn't drive anything since they didn't have items to drive. They walked.

The same thing happened to me, so i know how you must feel.

I guess what you can do is try find someone who might have the instructions for this particular wardrobe (specifying the model and the dimensions) for example on eBay a lot of shops sell Argos items and might be able to help you like they did help me, or try posting on other auctions sites or even gumtree.

Hope this help and wish you all the best.

William did fake his death so that Harold thought he had won

It happened on Senlac hill, 6 miles Northwest of Hastings and where East Sussex is now.

"All warfare is based on deception" Well William was a lot smarter than people think he was. He applied the doctrine of Tsun Zu. Always keep your enemy guessing. The saxons thought they had broken his army and had him on run, but it was not true. The enemy when he's on move neglects to think about his security and becomes complacent. Hence its easy to ambush him with a minimal loss of men to your side!!! "The O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you inaudible and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands." He told them to run away because that they would run after them! Then the army would just have to turn around and "BANG!" kill 'em slaughter 'em... it's lodgical isn't it?

William the conqueror's strengths were his skill and ability in being ... smart. like in The Battle of Hastings, William pretended to run away from the battle but then he surrounded the opposition when they came for them and attacked. Very clever.

James was a catholic who would have repealed some of the penal laws oppressing Irish catholics while Willaim was a protestant. --- edit; William of Orange had a reputation of violence against Catholics in Europe and was recruited by political forces in England to ride in on the coat tail of his wife Mary, to do the same in England and it's territory, Ireland. The subsequent reign was known as that of "William and Mary" because it was only Mary who had any legitimate claim to the throne.

The English or 'Anglo-Saxons' Earls elected Edgar as the next King of England, after Harold's death. There is evidence to indicate that this was widely supported. Edgar being of the family of Cerdric, an ancient Anglo-saxon bloodline.

However the difficulties were enormous, despite popular support for continued resitance, the English had niether the manpower or leadership to oppose the Norman force, which was quickly marching to London, pillaging as it went. Edgar was only 12 when he was elected King and the Bishops subsequently failed to consecrate him (meaning he was never crowned).

The nobility realised that although the Normans weren't welcome, that to surreder and avoid further destruction/bloodshed would be the most prudent answer. However Earl Morcare and Ealdwin fled to Northern England, which provided resistance until the 1070s which was later spearheaded by a more mature Prince Edgar, who in the end was bought off with Norman silver.

In other words, the English disliked William, but they had no other choice but to accept him.

the black plague and magna carta

slaves had to work 24/7 and rarely got anything to eat. they were mostley chained up shoulder to shoulder. if anyone got sick they would thorw up on the ground or if anyone dies they just fall on the ground and still be chained up. if a slave tried escaping they would be captured and killed.

they wore chain mail (cheap armour)
