HENRY MEETS WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR

If you could meet a historical figure, who would it be and why?

History Re-visited

There’s so much that’s fascinating about history and about people who have made up what has gone before but I find it very hard indeed to choose somebody I would like to meet – there are so many.

If it comes down to one single person I would very much like to meet William the Conqueror and talk with him about what he left, why he decided to invade the United Kingdom, what his plans were, if in his opinion he succeeded in his commission or not, and what he would do differently if he were to revisit the past in these modern times.

I would like to talk to him about strategies, battle plans, weapons, and how he found the people of England reacted to him coming from abroad to civilise and conquer.

There are many people from the past I would like to meet but there are certain parallels between what happened when the country of England was invaded.. I would find it fascinating indeed to have a conversation with William the Conqueror
