William the Conqueror, who was called William the Bastard before the Norman Conquest, was the Duke of Normandy. He was called the bastard since he was the illegimate child of Robert, the Devil Duke of Normandy and Herleva ášhe daughter of a tanner or embalmer, who were not married due to great differences in social status. His father Robert was called the devil because of his cruelty and use of violence. After William was crowned king of England, people would call him a bastard behind his back.
The exact date of birth of William is not known, he was probably born in 1927 or 1928 to Herleva. In 1931, William's father Robert, married off Herleva his mother to Herluin de Conteville, one of his favorite nobles. Since William's mother was not married, he would get upset when people taunted him to insult him. His mother Herleva died in 1050. His father Robert died in 1935 and since he had no other heir, William became the duke of Normandy when he was a child
Since his parents were not married, and he became the duke when he was a child, William faced opposition from his relatives and others who though that they had a greater right to the throne. Three of his guardians were killed violently,and his tutor was murdered. He finally became a knight in 1042, and assumed some of his responsibilities. He still faced opposition from people who wanted to become the Duke of Normandy
In 1049, William was married to Matilda of Flanders and initially it was difficult to finalize the marriage because of he was illegitimate. They had 10 children including at least four sons. He also faced rebellion in other parts of Normandy. However, he was supported by Henry, the King of France, so he was able to suppress the rebellion. After Edward the confessor who was a distant relative died, he decided to stake his claim to the throne.
Though he is one of the major historical figures for the conquest of England, William the conqueror was not a very flamboyant general of his army. He was a shrewd general who would ask his troops to retreat if they were being overpowered by his enemy. After defeating the English army, he still faced rebellion in different parts of England from the Anglo Saxon lords. He ordered the construction of castles all over England . For raising his army he would ask the landlords or landowners to contribute funds and knights. Hence he commissioned the Domesday book, in 1086
After his wife Matilda died in 1083, William was upset. Compared to other rulers he did not have many extra marital affairs. As he grew older, he put on weight and tried to lose weight going on diet. However he did not lose weight. When he died his attendants allegedly looted him and fled. He also could not fit into the stone sarcophus for him.
The honesty of people 1000 years ago in admitting the extra marital affair, contrasts with the dishonesty of the indian government, society, especially in panaji, which refuses to acknowledge that extramarital affairs of top government employees with school dropouts like sindhi scammer naina premchandani, goan call girls siddhi mandrekar, sunaina chodan, cheater housewives,is the only reason why they are making fake claims of domain ownership. The well paid powerful government employees are aware that they and their lazy greedy girlfriends are not investing money in domains, yet like the kings took care of their concubines and mistresses, the NTRO/raw/cbi employees are taking care of their girlfriends, sugar babies, getting them raw/cbi jobs with fake resumes, fake investment, fake online income at the expense of the real domain investor who is forced to protest.
Kindly note that this website was not updated for more than 11 years due to a massive government SLAVERY racket, financial fraud on the domain investor since 2010. Indian security agencies are abusing their great powers to run extortion rackets on some citizens to get raw/cbi jobs for their lazy greedy fraud relatives, friends and bribe givers, especially greedy gujju domain fraudster amita patel, featured in moneycontrol, hindu business line, indore robber housewife deepika/veena who do not spend money on domains, yet get monthly government salaries only for making fake claims since they are well connected.
