1. Battle of Hastings
King Edward of England grew up in France. During his reign (1042- 1066), all his cronies were Norman and held important positions. There is a strong French flavor in the court. Because he had no son William, the Duke of Normandy (his cousin) thought he should be Edward's heir. Edward also promised him this. Of course, there are others who want to be heirs to the throne. For example, Earl Harold, the Earl of Sussex, was not from the royal family, but was recommended by Edward as the heir to the throne because of his bravery. The day after Edward's death, Earl Harold was crowned king of England. William is not a man who can easily take away the throne. On September 27th of the same year, Duke William landed on the coast of Sussex. The army led by these two men met 9 miles from Hastings on June 10. The battle lasted all day and ended in the evening. Harold died in battle and was completely defeated. That Christmas, William ascended the throne of England, known as "William I of England".
Second, the battle for the throne during the Norman dynasty.
1087, William joined the battle with France and captured the fortress hill near Paris. Victory was just around the corner, but William, the hero I, accidentally fell off his horse and died. Before his death, he gave Normandy to his eldest son Robert and England to his second son Rufus. The third son, Henry, got 5000 pounds of silver instead of territory. The second son was called William II in English history. William II is a tyrant. He was accidentally shot in August of 1 100. Henry, the third son of William the Conqueror, was out hunting. Hearing the news, he hurried back to Winchester to seize the opportunity. The next day, he took the place of his second brother and became king. His historical name is Henry I (1100 ~165438).
Third, the struggle for the throne during the Plantagenet Dynasty.
More than a hundred years later, King Edward II of England was in trouble shortly after he ascended the throne in 1307. Later, Queen Isabella also opposed him. Isabella and her lover Modima captured Edward II with the help of foreign soldiers, and Congress forced him to give up the throne to his son, later Edward III. Edward II was assassinated a few months after giving up. Edward III was only 15 years old when he ascended the throne, and his mother and Modima ruled in the name of the king. Later, Edward was full-fledged and arrested his mother and her lover. The end result is: Isabella was imprisoned for life, and Mortimer was taken to London as a thief and hanged in public.
