Finally in 1047  1100after recruiting the help of the king of      1100France he defeated the barons at the battle   1100Val es dunes. He spent the next few years     1100consolidating his power in Normandie.         1100William's uncle Edward the Confessor was king 1100England and William felt this gave him the    1100right to the English crown. However he had to 1100defeat Harold at the battle of Hastings in    1100order to finally become king in 1066. He      1100changed the course of english history by      1100doing this.                                   1100He was s shrewd, courageous, ruthless man,    1100capable of mercy but also of inflicting       1100torture when diplomacy wouldn't work.         1100William died as he lived from injuries        1100received on his way to paris to attack the    1100king of france for having insulted him.       1107William, called rufus because of his ruddy    1107complexion, was a man illtempered little both 1107in mind and stature. By his oppression and    1107cruelty he was loathsome to well nigh all his 1107people. He was at least a brave and capable   1107warrior. Malcolm of scotland paid him hommage 1107and he fought successfully in France. He was  1107killed by accident while hunting. He was so   1107disliked that the church refused religious    1107rites to his remains.

His    1108marriage to the scottish princess won him     1108much support among his people. He also won    1108back the support of the church and abbeys     1108by allowing them to collect their rents       1108normally. He defeated his brother Robert at   1108at the battle of Tinchebray in Normandie and  1108imprisoned him for life in England. This gave 1108him title to all England and Normandie making 1108him and his descendants very powerful among   1108the european monarchs. He left no heirs as    1108his only son was drowned in a shipwreck.      1112Stephen became king by breaking a promise to  1112his uncle after his death. He took the throne 1112instead of giving it to his cousin Mathilda.  1112His reign was a dismal succesion of civil     1112wars, rebellions, squabbles, principally      1112about Mathilda.                                  normally.
