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
at the battle of Hastings
at the battle of Hastings
at the battle of Hastings
