Question 1

Identify the following terms.
-William of Normandy and the Battle of Hastings

Accepted Answer

William of Normandy, also known as William the Conqueror, was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. He was a descendant of Viking settlers who had become established in the region of Normandy in northern France. William's claim to the English throne came through his relation to the childless English king, Edward the Confessor, who was his first cousin once removed.

The Battle of Hastings was a pivotal event in English history that took place on October 14, 1066. This battle was fought between the Norman-French army of William, Duke of Normandy, and an English army under the Anglo-Saxon King Harold Godwinson, who had been crowned king earlier that year. The battle occurred because William claimed that he had been promised the throne by King Edward and that Harold had sworn an oath to support William's claim.

The battle was fought near Hastings, on the south coast of England, and it resulted in a decisive victory for William's forces. King Harold was killed during the battle, which effectively ended Anglo-Saxon rule of England and paved the way for the Norman conquest. The victory at Hastings allowed William to be crowned as King of England on Christmas Day, 1066, at Westminster Abbey.

The Battle of Hastings had a profound impact on English culture, language, and governance. It led to significant changes in the English aristocracy, with many Anglo-Saxon nobles being replaced by Norman ones. The Norman influence also introduced the French language and customs into English society. The conquest also led to the creation of the Domesday Book, a great survey of the lands and resources of England, which was unprecedented in its detail and scope for the time.
