William the Conqueror

William the Conqueror instituted Feudalism in England; it was a French system and not present in England before him.

Honestly, in this order:

1. His servants stole his gold and clothes

2. The undertakers came

3. The church set on fire

4. The undertakers fled

5. Monks finished the job

6. His stomach exploded

7. His arm fell off

8. The priest came

9. They buried him

After Edward the Confessor died, Duke William of Normandy thought that Edward would have wanted him to become the next King of England. But Harold Godwin already had other plans and already had been crowned King of England. This had made William furious. He decided a battle should take place to see who was fit to be the real king. As they fought at Senlac Hill(which was known as the famous Battle of Hastings), the fearless Normans ran up the hill, and killed Harold. The battle was over and William was crowned King. The English hated William. He always punished the innocent along with the guilty.

William died a brutal death,too. An arrow was speared into his chest accidentally, and he died on the spot. Good for him, right? And as you can see, no one supported him to become king. Everyone detested him, even his fellow countrymen!

he had no more than 13 weapons and invaded the whole of the british troop

William the Conqueror built the Tower of London to protect himself from invasion and the rebellious Anglo-saxon population angry after the Battle of Hastings

William of Orange died of pneumonia, a complication from a broken collarbone, resulting from a fall off his horse, Sorrel.

Upon the death of Margret Maid of Norway. 6 guardians were elected to run the country as she was only 4 at the time and not to mention a woman.

The treaty of Shewsbury made between Edward the 1st and a group of Scottish nobles including Robert de Brus Lord of Annandale (grandfather of Robert the 1st also know as "the competitor")

This was a prequel to the treaty of Brigham which finalised the Marriage contract between Edward (son of Edward the 1st) but was very specific that Scotland would be a separate kingdom from England, clauses included that;

"elections of Scottish churchmen were to remain free from English interference, especially from the archdiocese of York." (look up "Romes special daughter status for more info)

and

"there would be no taxation of Scots unless it was for the needs of Scotland" - this was to avoid paying for England's expensive wars in France

Tragedy struck

Margret the maid of Norway was died enroute to Scotland

Without her the treaty was void, civil war in Scotland became likely

The bishop of st Andrews (a guardian) wrote to edward asked for him to arbitrate the scottish sucession as no one in Scotland could be trusted

Edward then made all the claimaints swear fealty to him. He picked John Balliol, who had the closest blood claim to the throne, Robert de Brus the competitor also made a claim stating that he was one generation closer to King David than balliol but his legal case was thrown out.

Edward was balliols overlord and make things difficult for him by humiliating him in the English court. When edward summoned balliol to campaign with him in frace it was the last straw.

The scotish nobles signed an alliance with France and invaded northern England

Edward quickly lead a force north, sacking berwick in a bloody 3day ordeal before defeating a poorly lead scottish army at Dunbar.

Balliol was stripped of his titles and taken to the tower of London as a prisoner.

"The bishop of Glasgow, whose name was Robert Wishart, ever foremost in treason conspired with the steward of the realm named James, for a new piece of insolence... Not daring to break there pledge of faith to the king [Edward], they caused a bloody man named William Wallace, who had formally been a chief of brigands in Scotland to revolt against the king and assemble the people in his support"

His rebellion was in the name of King John and after the battle of stirling bridge he ran a government acting for King John in his absence.

In short he fought for Scotland to be free from English rule and especially for the Scottish church whitch had Scotland been suppressed like wales woudl of become a mere extention of the archdiocese of York and lost all power.

The Tower of London is the answer.

William the Congueror was the Very Influential Duke of Normandy in the 11th Century. When He invaded England in 1066, he simply used his power that he had developed throughout France to assemble an army to fight the English. It's important to remember that he didn't need to fight the entire English Army, instead a small percentage of it. Northern England contained most of the soldiers at that point in time, so the only real threat he had to deal with was the Army of Wessex, which, although being well armed and well trained, was not nearly enough of a force to withstand the Army The Duke of Normandy William was able to bring.

Yes, the Battle of Hastings goes down as a massive defeat for the English, but if you look at the detail, the English army had to march hundreds of miles north to face an overwhelming force of vikings at the Battle oF Stanford Bridge. The English won this battle but took heavy losses, once the English King Harold heard of the Normans down south, the English army had to march once again hundreds of miles to Hastings. William the conquerer didn't want to face the English on equal terms, so he waited until they were worn out. During the Battle of Hastings a undermanned, exhausted and malnourished English army (due to the hundreds of miles covered marching plus battles against the vikings) stood their ground and fought a well rested, well equipped Norman army, no wonder the English lost, the Normans were well fed and rested whereas the English hadn't eaten properly and where exhausted and possibly injured due to fighting th Vikings. The fact that William fought a malnourished, overworked and undersupplied army with a well supplied force and won giving him the name William the 'Conquerer' is stupid, he waited so his army didn't have to fight a better force.

Before the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William of Normandy, also known as William the Conqueror, was consolidating his power in Normandy and preparing for his invasion of England. He sought to claim the English throne, believing he had a legitimate right to it through his distant kinship with Edward the Confessor. William gathered a strong army, including knights and mercenaries, and secured support from various nobles and allies. His preparations included building ships and gathering supplies for the crossing to England.

William the Conquerer brought roughly 200 to 300 french barons to England . Most people would have thought he would have brought much more .

He was a Norman duke who led an invasion of England in 1066

In the Battle of Hastings William shot King Harold in the eye.He had a better army than King Harold and Harold Hardrada. William had battle men knights on horses for the attack.I also found out that he built ships that contained his forces across the sea. Also he was brave and encouraged his men at a time of difficulty and made them use the clever trick of making the English army run up and down the hill.

Edwards mother, Emma of Normandy was the sister of Richard 2nd of Normandy. Richard is the grandfather of William the Conqueror. Hope this helps. It took me ages to find this out.

William the conqueror had the white tower built and employed different people to help under his instruction

against the English

The Domesday book was useful to WIlliam the Conqueror because it was a way to know what land and goods were owned, and so he could assess taxes on all of it.

The Domesday book is useful today because it is the most accurate portrait of land and economy in that area that we have of that time, so it is useful to historians and economists looking back at how things were done.

William was low on morale since some of his soldiers were leaving and there were rumors of William's death. He had to try a previous plan again. This was to run up Caldbec Hill and then start retreating to make Harold's soldiers give chase. They fell for the trick and were surrounded and killed.

The only way to get to him is by defeating all levels and bosses so basically Maldark is the final boss. You can only battle him in Ice Caves wich is the last place in Conqueror of all Worlds. Hope this helped!

William the Conqueror built two stone castles; Chepstow and the Tower of London. These were the first buildings in England that were not churches to be made from stone, and they were designed to impress and intimidate. Castles made from stone was an idea that did not catch on until the 12th Century.
