William the Conqueror

9 September 1087

The Nazis wanted to control and politicize as many areas of everyday life as possible. In addition, there was some opposition to Nazism from within the churches.

he killed many of the English, and then he finally reached King Harold, and then killed him. Once King Harold was dead, William the Conqueror became the new King of England.

William Mckune Margerison was born in Bristol in 1857. He married Mary Jane Cooper in Preston in 1879 and they had children William Jr, Florence, Mary L. and Frederic C. William is the son of Joshua and Mary, The founders (?) of Margerison Soap Works in Preston.

He commissioned the writing of the book but it was written by a small team of priests as priests were almost the only people able to read and write in those days.

William Rufus - very unpopular, and not at all lamented when he was shot dead in the forest.

in the battle of hastings, he had his foot soldiers at the front, filled by his archers then his horsemen. these hoses would fight swell as the soldier on their back, they would bite, kick and head butt the opponent

Dover had (and still has) a major castle. It also was (and still is) the main English port on the Channel, and in 1066 a large force of well armed Anglo-Saxon soldiers was stationed there. So, after the Battle of Hastings, William of Normanday decided to remove this potential threat to his victory.

Yes he was very brave always at the front of his army, he seemed to be everywhere at the same time!

In the battle of Hastings his men were about to give up because they thought he was dead but he took off his helmet to show his men he was still alive.

This is brave because Harold Godwinson would have had people trying to kill just William but William still done it to give his army hope and it got them to keep fighting.

William the Conqueror was a very clever man, building castles all over England. He was also a tough, brave, inspirational and religious person.

William was known for his good qualities but also had a few bad ones. He was a very vicious man, involved in a lot of battles, and killed millions of people.

William the Conqueror (William I) came from Gaul (which is France now) and most certainly spoke a language known as Anglo-Norman. Anglo-Norman, along with contributions from Germanic languages, eventually became Old English (Beowulf), which became Middle English (Chaucer) and then Modern English (Shakespeare on). The Williams which came after William I spoke the language prevalent in England when they ruled-one of the languages I just described.

In Old Norse, the word is spelled víkingr. Vikingr appears on several rune stones found in Scandinavia. In the Icelanders sagas, víking refers to an overseas expedition (Old Norse fara í víking "to go on an expedition"), and víkingr, to a seaman or warrior taking part in such an expedition.

By building huge, impregnable castles. An example is Caerphilly Castle it is one of the great medieval castles of western Europe. Several factors give it this pre-eminence - its immense size (1.2h), making it the largest in Britain after Windsor, its large-scale use of water for defence and the fact that it is the first truly concentric castle in Britain. Of the time of its building in the late 13th century, it was a revolutionary masterpiece of military planning One of Henry III's most powerful and ambitious barons, Gilbert de Clare, lord of Glamorgan, built this castle. His purpose was to secure the area and prevent lowland south Wales from falling into the hands of the Welsh leader Llywelyn the Last, who controlled most of mid and north Wales. De Clare built other castles on the northern fringes of his territory for the same purpose, such as Castell Coch. He had seized the upland district of Senghenydd, in which Caerphilly lies, from the Welsh in 1266 to act as a buffer against Llywelyn's southward ambitions. Llywelyn realised the threat and tried but failed to prevent the castle from being built; it was begun on 11 April 1268, was attacked by Llywelyn in 1270, and was begun again in 1271. This time it was completed without hindrance. Its message was not lost on Llywelyn, who retreated northwards.

William I hired Bismarck because of his beliefs and the two men had the same ideas in mind for the unification and growth of the country. William II saw Bismarck as an old relict of William I's time, although he did continue many of Bismarck's policies.
