British History

NORMAN BRITAIN

1066 - 1154

William the Conqueror

I'm William the Conqueror,

Britain's first Norman king

I found renown and won my crown

at the battle of Hastings

In September of 1066

I crossed the sea from France

The weather had improved somewhat

and it seemed I had a chance

An arrow sealed Harold's fate

and I rode to London town

On Christmas day at Westminster

I finally wore the crown

I wasn't kind to enemies,

made barons of my friends

I ruled the land with iron hand,

until my final end

at the battle of Hastings
