William the Conqueror

For a hundred and fifty years after the time of Alfred the Great people were continually fighting one another all over England. What the country needed was a strong king who could keep order.

In France there was a young boy named William, who was the son of the Duke of Normandy. This was the boy who in the year 1066 came and conquered England. The Duke Robert of Normandy, William’s father, was a cousin of King Edward the Confessor of England, and when William was twenty-four years old he came to England to visit his relative. When William saw what a green and pleasant country England was, he wanted to be its king. King Edward the Confessor liked his young nephew and promised him the crown. At the same time there was in England a young Saxon, named Harold. Most Saxon nobles did not want a French king, and after Edward the Confessor’s death they proclaimed Harold King of England.

William gathered a great army and sailed across the English Channel on hundreds of ships. Harold’s army met him on the English coast. There was a great battle of Hastings on October 14, 1066. Harold soldiers fought bravely, but William’s army was stronger. Harold was murdered in the battle. William marched his army to London. When he approached London, he found the gates of the city open. He was met by the Saxon nobles. They knew that they could not stop William, so they asked him to be the King of England without fighting. (adapted from World of English)
