	History of the Monarchy > The Normans > William I
		William's claim to the English throne was based on his assertion that, in 1051, Edward the Confessor had promised him the throne (he was a distant cousin) and that Harold II - having sworn in 1064 to uphold William's right to succeed to that throne - was therefore a usurper.
		William's wholesale confiscation of land from English nobles and their heirs (many nobles had died at the battles of Stamford Bridge and Senlac) enabled him to recruit and retain an army, by demanding military duties in exchange for land tenancy granted to Norman, French and Flemish allies.
		William bequeathed Normandy as he had promised to his eldest son Robert, despite their bitter differences (Robert had sided with his father's enemies in Normandy, and even wounded and defeated his father in a battle there in 1079).

	The Death Penalty and John William King
		The jury that sentenced John William King to death by lethal injection seemed to think so, and the Byrd family indicated the same.
		King chose Byrd as his victim merely because he was black and because he was convenient.
		The death penalty only supports King's mistaken idea that he is the victim, and his death at the hands of the state will only confirm the suspicions of white supremacists who believe that the government has been co-opted.
