-harolds weaknesses, untrained fyrd, lack of control, no calvery/archers, rused into battle, failed to defend coast, tactically unflexible,
-Williams strengths, brave, professional force, well equiped, tactically aware,

Fact #3: Mont-Saint-Michel was originally an abbey, but in the French Revolution, the monks fled and the abbey was closed and changed into a prison.

Why did William of Normandy change England?
England was a wealthy settled and successful kingdom with established laws and a complex system of taxation. Normandy was a dukedom and William was faced with constant intrigue including threats to his rule, position and life. In order to successfully mount an invasion of England, William required the support of the Norman ruling class i.e. the knights and their followers. He enlisted this support with the promise of gifting them new land and treasures in England. This in turn ensured that Norman rule and Norman laws would be imposed from the outset. William was also determined to wipe out all traces of Anglo-Saxon culture and in doing so, further reduce the risk of prolonged organised resistance
