Me: Good afternoon William, how are you?
William: I am fine, and you?
Me: Fantastic, tell me about your book of census and why you did it.
William: It is a book. But not just a normal book, it has records of anyhting you can think of in Normandy, how many trees, how many pigs or cattle of even chimenies. I did it so incase of an invasion, we would know exactly where to put anthing, to hide anyone, or what to do with the objects and people.
M: Well, it is a very good idea I must say. Explain the battle of Hastings.
W: On October 13th, I recieved news of Harold of Wessex was marching towards my land in order to take the throne. At dawn the next morning, Harold was standing ast the top of Senlac Hill, about seven milea away from Hastings, then struck. The battle lasted all day. Although the numbers were about even, I had infantry and cavalry, including many archers, while Harold only had foot soldiers. I charged, the English all ran, letting us attack them from the rear multiple times, forcing them away giving us the victory.
M: What happened at the invasion of England?
W: I led an army of Normans, Bretons, Flemings, and Frenchmen, to defeat King Harold at Hastings, it was pretty much the same thing as the Battle of Hastings, nothing different, same story.
M: Last question, why did people call you "William the Bastard"?
W: Because of the illegitimacy of my birth.
M: What do you mean?
W: Well, back in my times, people would protest and would get very angry if a child was born while his mother and father weren't married, so people got mad, but nothing drastic happened.
M: Well thank you for being on my interview, good luck with ur land.
W: Thanks you too.
