William the Conqueror taught me much about himself during my interview with him. He was kind enough to meet up with me downtown and discuss his life in history. I had many questions to ask him, my first being, Why are you an important figure in history? he responded " I was the first Norman King of England." I than asked, How did you press your claim to the English crown? "I invaded England in 1066, leading an army of Normans, Bretons, Flemings, and Frenchmen to take victory over teh English forces of King Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings, and suppressed subsequent English revolts in what has become known as the Norman Conquest.
