Hypothetically, if you had to live in any other country, where would you go and why?

60. Norman Conquest was wrought with complexities

William "The Conqueror" was actually an intriguing charming aggressive bully with a huge ego - extremely intelligent, able to lie, manipulate, and use every kind of strategy you can think of to get his way. Harold, on the other hand, had none of that guile, but was beloved and respected for his steadiness and support of Edward the Confessor. His one mistake was to travel to Normandy. His naivete cost him the throne. If Harold had not made that trip, it's possible William would not have won that battle because he may not have gained the Pope's support (though he did promise to Bring England completely under the Vatican's control, which it was not), and may not have convinced all the Norman earls to follow him, and therefore would have had fewer mercenaries. The story of these two men is what fascinated me.

So no, not as violent as the Viking conquest, just one battle. But what led up to it was interesting.
