English England

Timeline
1066 AD - Edward the Confessor dies, leaving behind an empty throne. Harold Godwinson's right to the English throne receives little support, and William the Bastard counters this claim and made ready to assail England.

William sets out with his navy, and arrives in England, for the most part, with his full fleet. He then advances inland but is met by Harold Godwinson and his army at Hastings.

The two armies fight, and it seems that William is about to win, but he is unhorsed by a stray Norman arrow; the horse rears and falls over backwards, landing on William. He is temporarily paralyzed, seeing this from afar, an English archer raises the cry: "The bastard is dead!" Some Normans see that this would appear to be so, and start running, quickly it turns into an all-out retreat. About ten minutes after the Norman army has fully retreated from Hasting, William gets up and tries to escape, but is captured by the English, who keep this very secret, lest the Normans become emboldened. It turns out that Harold Godwinson has been killed by a Norman archer, and Edgar the Æþeling is swiftly crowned in his place. He commands that William be held for ransom. The Norman army holes up on the eastern coast of England, and are driven to terms by the pursuing English troops; they are to retreat return to Normandy in France, but are to leave behind one tenth of their number as slaves, and are to deliver all their weapons and armour up as rightful spoil for the English.

After all this has been done, the Normans are offered William for a ransom, but they are unable to pay. The English promise to hold him until such a time as they are able to pay, but the French king, seeing his opportunity to seize full power over William's dukedom, declares that he will neither pay a ransom or allow a ransom to be paid within his power, and, thereafter, Edgar the Everyoung, new king of England, personally executed William. The majority of the Catholic Church disagreed with this move, and the Pope Leo IX openly called it "an act of the devil".

1073 AD - Edgar the Everyoung is convinced by Bishop Forþwulf, the fresh Abbot of Westminster Abbey, that, despite popular church usage of Latin, Latin and English should not be mixed. Edgar declares, much to the horror of the the Catholic Church, that all Latin words are to removed from usage in the English language, and that all publicly-spoken Latin was to be translated for the common people. The Pope Leo IX responds by calling Edgar "a son of Satan," and, in return, Edgar declares the Catholic church void, and takes steps to found the Renewed Church of Christ, later to be know as the Renewed Church of England. A great revolt, usually called the Catholic-English uprising, then took place, mainly beeing supported by the Catholic church and a large number of nobles. The uprising is quelled, and Edgar declares that everyone who took part in it was to be executed. Rome declares war on England and exhorts his "brethren of the true faith" to do likewise.
