	History \| Benton Foundation
		The Benton Foundation is the legacy of William Benton (1900-1973), the founder of the advertising agency Benton and Bowles and publisher of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

		It's a fairly concise (200 pages) telling of the story of the personal rivalry behind the Norman conquest of England -- a rivalry between England's last Saxon king (Harold) and the Duke of Normandy (William, later William I).
		The root of the rivalry lies in the alleged oath by Harold to support William's claim to the English throne after Edward the Confessor's death and Harold's own election to the throne later on, causing William to seek it by force.
		The story is further complicated by Harold's younger brother Tostig, who for his own reasons persuaded the King of Norway to make an invasion attempt that same year, just weeks before William's landing.
