William for King?
William of Normandy was an established military leader and had grown well loved by his country after many years of service. William led his country through battles and invasions successfully and had gained the trust of his people over time. He strengthened the already strong armies of Normandy and fiercely protected his country. William was the powerful and successful leader of Normandy for many years, but he also had his eye on a country across the channel; England.
William believed he would be a good leader because of his proven power and military experience. William, like many leaders, enjoyed power in its own right, and constantly sought more. He had many powerful followers who thought he should be king, including members of the Norman aristocracy and the church, including the Pope.
William believed he deserved the English throne because he had a legitimate claim. He argued that he had been promised the English throne by his cousin, Edward the Confessor, and so was the closest living relative to the dead King.
I think that William had more experience in leading a country compared to his competitors; he had already been successfully governing a country which had benefited greatly from his leadership. His experience with such power would make him a stronger leader.
In Normandy, William built many amazing buildings, strengthened the army and won many battles for his country. I think England would have benefited from William being King because he had already proven himself as a natural leader and it is likely he would continue this attitude towards being King of England.
