How 600 Norman Knights Conquered All of England in One Afternoon

Описание: How One Broken Oath Led to 150,000 Deaths: The TRUE Story of the Norman Conquest
In 1066, Duke William of Normandy crossed the English Channel with 600 elite knights to punish Harold Godwinson for breaking a sacred oath. What followed wasn't a conquest that took "one afternoon"—it was six years of brutal warfare, systematic destruction, and a campaign so devastating it killed over 100,000 people in Northern England alone.
This is the story of how righteous vengeance transformed into genocide, how winning a battle meant losing a soul, and how the Norman Conquest became one of history's most complete—and most brutal—transfers of power.
In This Video You'll Discover:
• The REAL story behind Harold's controversial oath to William
• Why the Battle of Hastings was just the beginning, not the end
• The "Harrying of the North" - a scorched earth campaign that killed 100,000+ civilians
• William's deathbed confession that changed how we view his entire reign
• The 20-year occupation that completely transformed England
Was William a righteous king enforcing sacred oaths, or a tyrant driven by pride? Watch until the end and decide for yourself.
