Ooo, by the way;
Williams grandson, who in turn became King in 1100, was born in England which meant that the crown returned to an English head after only 34 years following the Battle of Hastings. This is a considerably much shorter time than the 170-ish years of English rule over America
And William himself arguably had as good a claim to the English throne as Harold.
