In 1066 Harold the Saxon had control of England, and 2 men claimed the throne was rightfully theirs. Harold Hardrada, king of Viking Denmark and Norway, and William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy (an duchy in the North of France). William had a dangerous task of getting his large numbers of knights across he English Channel. The vikings had sturdy ships and landed easily. However the Vikings suffered a huge defeat to Harold's veteran Huskarls at stamford bridge due to them not being prepared for a strong resistance. William however was quite sucessful. He chased Harold and his men down all the way to Hastings where the Saxons were defeated. William was crowned on Christmas day.

To this day the Queen of England retains the title of Duke of Normandy, which is rather confusing as she is, in fact, a woman.

William Tryon acquired his position as governor mostly through family connections. His name spread once he became governor of North Carolina.

At the moment he's a crypt consultant.

When he was alive he was Duke of Normandy then King of England.

King William I of England (William the Conqueror) had been king of England since his victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. He had previously been, and still was, Duke of Normandy - the North Western part of France. He had four sons, Robert born around 1051, Richard, born about 1055,William born around 1056 and Henry, born about 1068. He also had a daughter, Adela, born about 1062, and his second son, Richard died in 1081. It would have been the custom for the oldest son, Robert, to inherit the crown of England on his father's death but King William decreed on his deathbed in 1087, that Robert would become Duke of Normandy and his second son, William would become King of England. William II became king in 1087 and was succeeded by his younger brother, Henry I in 1100. Henry reigned until his own death in 1135.

No relation.. -friend of the family

It is a mixture Williams men were probably better, however Harold's men had just marched 250 miles north to Stamford Bridge to fight Harald Hadrada, as in September he heard that the vikings had landed also the winds were directing the wrong way for William to cross over to the South Coast. When Harold got to Stamford Bridge the vikings were drunk so it was easy to kill all of them.

But by the time Harold had marched his men up 250 miles (no stops) and down 250 miles (no stops) they were exhausted, but they arrived to find the winds had changed direction and William had landed. They fought for 9 and a half hours and then William came up with a good tactic, to get his men to fake run away, then Harold's men followed to kill them but Williams men turned round and killed them. Eventually Harold died and William won.

He first built the White tower, which is the basis for the Tower of London. This was a sign of power over the Saxon people. The Saxons were turned into peasants and the nobles replaced by French nobles who fought for William in the battle of Hastings.

William the Conquerer was fifty-nine years old when he died.

Very very very good Stratigest. He knew how to use the others army against them and use his troops even better than the others. For example he pretended to run away from battle drawing harolds army away from the hill and then attacked them.

Yes he did, and it was quite eventful too! His stomach exploded, the church was on fire and people stole all his burial treasures

Harold promised he wouldn't fight for the throne against William. Its pretty obvious why he was annoyed. Isnt it?

The people up in the North rebelled against William because they thought that he was a Norman and why he should control the country.So thay planned to attack the king and they got help from the danes(people from Denmark) and together they planned to destroy William. Moreover thay also burmed one of his castle which made William furious. But William who was a clever person suprised them because he lived in London and the rebellions were marching to London to attack. William came from the North with his army and dealt with the rebellions with cruelty. He burn't down all the rebellion's homes and all the crops/food so there was nothing left. He also sent out search parties and troops to go into the forest and kill any rebellion who was hiding so there was not a single rebellion again!!!

the great cheese

he came to England to concur it because he wanted to be the king at 1 point and he wanted to take over England so that every one in England will have to do what he says otherwise they would get killed Iver by getting there head chopped of or getting electrocuted in the chambers which Manny have been in before built loads of castles in parts of England so he could watch over England and see what the king of England was doing so if the king was coming over to him he would arrange a fight or war so then who ever wins will get England and who ever loses will get killed did have police in them days but they were not allowed to get involved with the wars other wise they would get killed in the war why they were trying to stop it or they would get there Head chopped of by the king or electrocuted in the chanbers. you would not like it in the Chambers because it is scary and cold and there would be ghosts were they have been killed but if you are in the chamber like you got in there because you wanted to see what it is like then you would get killed they would put you strait in the chair and you are gone if it does not work then you will have your head chopped of by there slaves or by the winner of the battle or king of England/Britain.William came to England when he was 25 so then he could build his castles and he started fighting when he was 27 William came from France they came to Britain to fight and to build his castles they lived in a castle in France they had lost of survents and they had lost of money to.befor he came to England he was looking after France and looking for people to kill that had done sonethink wrong.he was very good at his Job. he fort that England was not better than France because he was born in France . he is dead now he won the battle but he died od old age.

William the Conqueror was a Norman Nobleman circa 1066 CE, as such he was what is now known as Roman Catholic.

i think he built it near towns and Villages so they were in good protection and near major routes so the armys could go places easily.
