William I
the Conqueror 1027 - 1087 King of England
William, the Duke of Normandy, received a vague promise of the English throne by King Edward the Confessor, but when the king died Edward's brother-in-law Harold obtained the succession.
William immediately invaded England. His Norman troops destroyed the English army at the battle of Hastings (1066) and killed Harold. William was crowned king of England. The Anglo - Saxon nobility was deprived of its possessions and replaced by Norman lords. In 1085 William ordered the compilation of Domesday Book, the first exhaustive survey written of England.
Two brothers we are, great burdens we bear, all day we are bitterly pressed; Yet this I will say - we are full all the day, and empty when we go to rest. What are we?
In a Bucharest hotel lobby: The lift is being fixed for the next day. During that time we regret that you will be unbearable.
