@Fash@poa.st Little footnote to add to William's coronation- the norman tradition was a respectful, even solemn silence during the proceedings. The english tradition was to cheer for the new king. When the cheers began, the normans thought a riot or uprising was beginning and so they rode out slaughtering the common folk of london.
This callous ignorance and bloodlust was repeated and magnified during William's Harrying of the North, a genocidal campaign of hatred that lasted 20 years and countless dead.
I spit on the bastard of normandy and his legacy of oppression.
