Why is William the conqueror so liked?

[enriquecuador]

One of the worst kings ever

Killed loads and made loads of castles because he was so unpopular and scared of being overthrown. Luckily beat Harold godwinson just based on deception and shitty tactics and also removed the whole election of kings.

He was a piece of shit.

Tell me if you think a true king would seperate Anglo Saxons and Normans or unite them?

He was just an interesting guy ig... u can tell he had a lot of courage and was undoubtedly a very tough individual. Some of his actions are so brutal and horrible that they’re honestly kinda funny if presented in a more light hearted tone
