It can't be misrepresenting you when that is actually what you are saying, plus I've quoted you saying it.
Whereas, you factually have misrepresented me many times - so many in fact, it would be hard NOT to find an instance of you misrepresenting me in your posts.
This type of rhetoric, or conjecture, or borderline whining, is doing nothing but obfuscating the subject.
I decided to pull down my initial claim of William the conqueror being "first king of england", and changed it to what my link said "first norman king of England", because the argument had not went so far yet that it was time to argue that, infact, William the conqueror probably is, first king of england.
You are running around, with black ink, telling people look, he's not credible, he thinks William the conqueror is first king of england.
Yet you fail to recongnise, even Harold Godwinson, was only crowned, "anglo-saxon king of the English".
Even though the link below i show you, does say "anglo-saxon king of England", i have already shown you, that when you look deeper, you find that there was never an anglo-saxon known as anything else other than King of the English
Harold Godwinson (c. 1022 – 14 October 1066), often called Harold II, was the last crowned Anglo-Saxon king of England. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harold_Godwinson
If there was, at that time, an actual King of England, it was Cnut the Great, who gave Harold Godwinson the House of Wessex, and Knut the great was King of England, Denmark, Norway. Though his claim to King of England, was probably not recognised by the British.
And, William the conqueror was "not" crowned "Norman King of England."
He was just crowned, "King of England".
I mean, you do realise, right, that the anglo-saxons were considered drunken barbarians? They were nothing more than foot soldiers in the invading Britain. But the power for being their leaders, was a struggle between Catholicism, and the Normans.
And just because William the conqueror invaded under a Norman banner, does not mean the power structure he was actually waving, was Norman, as the Normans got infected in Normandy
The Normans by this point in history, were now more politically Catholic, pointing to Roman, than Odin, pointing to norse
