Willie goes sailing

Postby Felix/FFDS » Tue Sep 28, 2004 9:36 am

WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR INVADES ENGLAND:
September 28, 1066


Claiming his right to the English throne, William, duke of Normandy, invades England at Pevensey on Britain's southeast coast. His subsequent defeat of King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings marked the beginning of a new era in British history.

Thanks Felix. This makes me wonder why I didn't know the exact date without looking it up & why it's not celebrated in my country. ::)

Actually they were Normans. And closer to being Viking than French. :P

In my experience never. But we can't have some of those less educated here go thinking that France ever invaded England. ;D
