9. Hero or a Villain, or just lucky?

10. William was promised the throne by Edward in 1051, and in 1065 Harold swore an oath to support his claim, therefore he had every right to go and claim the throne in England in 1066 William produced inspired leadership during the Battle – taking off his helmet to show he was alive William pioneered the tactic of retreating and then striking at the Saxons – it helped to win William was lucky the wind held him back – as it meant Harold had to go and fight Hardrada. Maybe if he’d travelled when he wanted to he would have suffered the same fate as his Norwegian counterpart William was cruel when he initially came to Britain – destroying villages on the way to London to be crowner King William set up the Domesday book to keep a record of who lived in the country. This was an impressive task – and showed his organisation skills William set up the Domesday book in order to get money – tax from the people. This was a selfish act to give him money to live a good lifestyle William massacred towns all over the country. Thousands of Peasants died William was kind to Harold when he was growing up in France The Pope supported William’s right to become King of England
