He was the son of Robert, Duke of Normandy, and Herleva, daughter of Fulbert, a tanner of Falaise. When William was about seven years old, his father, intending to go on pilgrimage and having no legitimate sons, proposed William as his heir. The great men of the duchy did homage to the child, and a year later (1035) his father's death left him to make good his claim.  \n1. Who was the father of William the Conqueror?  \n____________________________________  \nAnarchy was the natural result of a minority. William's life was on more than one occasion in danger, and several of his guardians perished in his service. At the earliest possible age, he received knighthood from the hands of Henry I of France, and speedily began to show signs of his capacity for government.  \n2. Who knighted William?  \n____________________________________  \nIn 1042 , William insisted that the \"truce of God\" should be proclaimed and observed in Normandy. When William was about twenty years old, his authority was threatened by a general conspiracy, which spread through the western half of his duchy. An attempt was made to seize him at Valognes, and he only escaped by riding hard all night to his own castle at Falaise. Bessin and Cotentin, the most Norman parts of Normandy, rose in rebellion. William sought and obtained aid from King Henry, and completely defeated the rebels at Val-es-Dunes near Caen (1047) . The battle was but a combat of horse, but it decided the fate of the war and left William master of his duchy.  \n3. Why did William’s young age make  \nhim an easy target for those who envied his lands?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n|  |\n\nThe debt which William owed to Henry was repaid the next year. War broke out between Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, and Henry (1048), and William came to his suzerain's assistance. Alençon, one of the chief border fortresses between Normandy and Maine, which had received an Angevin garrison, was captured by the duke. The inhabitants had taunted him with his illegitimate birth. William, who had dealt leniently with the rebels after Val-es-Dunes, took a cruel revenge. Soon afterward Domfront, another important border fortress, fell into his hands.  \nIn 1051 , William visited England. Two years later he married Matilda, daughter of Baldwin, Earl of Flanders, and a descendant of England’s Alfred the Great. The marriage had been forbidden by a council at Rheims as uncanonical, and was opposed by Lanfranc, Prior of Bec. This produced a quarrel between Lanfranc and William, who ravaged the lands of the abbey and ordered the banishment of its prior. Lanfranc, however, soon came to terms with the duke, and engaged to obtain a dispensation from Rome, which, however, was not granted till 1059.  \n4. Whom did William marry?  \n\n|  |\n| --- |\n|  |\n\nStrengthened by this alliance with Flanders, William showed himself more than a match for all his enemies. Henry, who had hitherto been for the most part friendly, now turned against him. After the suppression of some isolated revolts, William was threatened in 1054 by a great confederacy. His dominions were invaded by the forces of the French king, in combination with those of Geoffrey of Anjou, Theobald of Blois, and others.  \nWilliam remained at first on the defensive. Then, falling suddenly on one of the French armies at Mortemer, in the north-eastern corner of his duchy, he cut it to pieces. This blow put an end to the war. Henry made peace (1055), and William took the opportunity of extending his dominions in a southerly direction. He built fresh fortresses and exacted homage from Count Geoffrey of Mayenne.  \nIn 1058 , Henry and Count Geoffrey made a final effort to crush their dangerous neighbor. But the effort failed, like those which preceded it. William again allowed the allies to enter and ravage his territory.
