I finally got to sit down with my friend Bill, here is what i asked him in 1028-1087.
Q- How did you become the Emperor of England?
A- It started off with four main contenders after Edward the Confessor died, but then it got narrowed down to Harold and myself, it ended by the Battle of Hastings where i obviously won, that's how i became to be known by William the Conqueror.
Q- I heard you wrote a book, explain it.
A- My book is called Doomsday. After sending all of my nobles and barons, they came came back with information about the city, like its owners, its value, history. And i basically just brought all of that information back together. Which allowed me to tax them.
Q- So if that has to do with taxes you must have a lot to do with the Executive branch.
A- I guess you could say that by how i was granting fiefs on my land that my army had taken over.
Q- What else did you do while having power in England?
A- I established many castles, built fortresses like the Tower of London, dealt with many rebellions and worked with many of the political issues.
