In 1064, Harold,still numberlessm had served as an emissary to Normandy.

Harold: Billy,joo rulz!

William: (smiles and puts that comment away for further use)

In 1066 Edward the Confessor named Harold King and then died. Harold was much excited about having a number now. Harold's brother Tostig was not nearly so excited. Numberless, he decided to go to war against Harold..oh sorry..Harold II.

Tostig."Pillage pillage stabbity stabbity (whooo..deja vu)

Harold II: Stabbity stabbity thwack.

And all would have been well. Except that William the Bastard was still looking for a new name, and remembered what Harold said. He and his forces, including some of the semifashion sensed Bretons, landed on the coast.

William: Yo,Harold. I have picked a new name. I shall be known as William the Conqueror.

Harold II: I m so FuxX0red.

And he was quite right. Willliam won the battle and the war. This paved the way for the horticultural event of the millenium..the War of the Roses. Also for real fish and chips,rock and roll,the Mini and the Graham Norton show. Also a killer tapestry. Well..a tapestry about killing at least.

and thus ended 1066..and part one of the History of the English People..who are,at the time, still without their national dish...curry.
