William the Conqueror

William the Conqueror was a king during the dark ages starting on Christmas Day of 1066 AD.

Interview with William the Conqueror.

Q: How did you become King?
A: I became King by fighting my rival Harald III who claimed that he had the right to the throne. I defeated him at the Battle of Hastings.

Q: What did you do as King of England?
A: When I was King I made a book known to the people as the Doomsday Book. This kept a record of all of my people's possession for taxation purposes. My idea of this book is similar to taxation today.
